| Governor Tom Corbett's 2011 Executive Budget Address
PROPOSALS
Teacher Pay
-- Public school employees should agree to a one-year freeze on pay increases to save school districts $400 million.
-- Employees in the State System of Higher Education should consider sacrifice.
School Finance
-- Any new property tax increase beyond inflation should be put on the ballot.
-- When it comes to higher education we should do the same thing that we do in basic education: the dollars should follow the student.
Local Control
-- Give school boards some breathing room. Curb mandates that tie the hands of local school boards.
School Choice
-- We need to develop a system of portable education funding; something a student can take with him or her to the school that best fits their needs.
