Pennsylvania Education Finance Symposium
The 2007 Pennsylvania Education Finance Symposium took place
November 15-16, 2007 in Harrisburg, PA.
The event featured sessions on Pennsylvania's statewide education
costing-out study, a review of property tax reform proposals currently
before the General Assembly, and discussion of recent education
funding poll results, as well as sessions on TABOR legislation,
and recommendations of the Task Force on School Cost Reduction.
Participants also received an update on education finance issues
before the state legislature from a panel of state policymakers, and
learned about proposals currently before the legislature to
establish a statewide funding reform commission and to create a
statewide health benefits plan for school employees.
