In Pennsylvania, prospects for a legislative fix hinge on a budgeting process in a divided legislature.
Emboldened by the court’s decision, House Democrats tried to funnel more money into public education this year, but it hit a wall in the Republican-controlled Senate, which proposed a more modest spending plan.
A contract for mental health services, paid for with federal funds, is another support program the district may not be able to sustain. That mattered to Miller, who struggled to find someone to confide in. Those needs have only grown more acute, at William Penn and elsewhere, as more teenagers struggle with mental health issues in the aftermath of COVID, especially teen girls.
Miller’s classmate, Paul Vandy, says he never had a full sense of what other students have until he and Miller went to a nearby high school with the speech and debate team. It felt like they had stepped into one of the high schools he’d seen on TV. Still, Miller didn’t say much about the school’s shortcomings when she addressed her fellow classmates as their senior class president. When she thinks about Penn Wood, she thinks about her mother, whose friends graduated from the high school and came back to teach. She thinks about leaning on her own friends as they navigated, and graduated, high school while having less than other districts.
