Partners for Public Education, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania State Education Association and the Parent Education Network (PEN), will host a webinar on Wednesday, May 15 from 4:00-6:00 p.m.

Katie Oleksiak, program manager for Spark the Wave, is a Partner for Public Education. Spark the Wave is a nonprofit organization offering programs and workshops for middle and high school students to develop their skills in effective communication, leadership, community service, and diversity awareness.

The decision to cut state education funding by nearly $1 billion over the past two years has forced school boards and administrators to struggle with choices they should never have to make, choices that could greatly undermine the future of this generation of students. And they continue to face no-win situations.
