Contact House Reps to Urge Support for Bell-to-Bell

SB1014 recently passed the Senate 46-1! Contact your PA house representative and ask them to support phone-free schools. Your voice matters. Lawmakers need to hear directly from parents, educators, and community members. A few calls or emails from local constituents can make a big difference.

Paper Tests for PA Kids

As of 2026, Pennsylvania requires every PSSA and Keystone exam to be taken on a computer. That means children as young as 8 takes their tests on a device, before they've even learned how to type. Unfortunately, state testing seems to influence what happens in classrooms all year, and we've all seen it: screen-based testing means more screen time during the school day. New York made the same switch and is already reconsidering. Pennsylvania should too. Add your name to ask the state to bring back a paper option for the PSSAs.
