News
Posted on: 07/08/2008Pennsylvania has signed into law legislation which, based on APA's recommendations, raises funding for public education by nearly $275 million -- an historic increase for the state. The state also adopted APA's recommendations on how the money can most effectively be distributed to school districts. These recommendations include recognizing higher costs associated with helping children in poverty and English language learners achieve state performance standards. They also include cost adjustments that recognize differences in district size and regional cost of living. Click here for APA's full Pennsylvania costing-out report.

Testimonials
"We hired APA to conduct a county-wide analysis to identify new ways for our school districts to work together and improve performance. We also wanted to know how our district resource usage compared with others in our state. APA did an excellent job of gathering information and ideas from our superintendents and other community leaders to provide clear answers to these questions. The firm was easy to work with and provided the independent, impartial, experienced analysis we needed to help move forward our county's education systems."
