Impactful work by one of our state legislators.

I’m proud to share that another bill I prime-sponsored with some of my colleagues, H.B. 1466, passed the Senate unanimously and is headed to the governor’s desk for his signature. This bill addresses Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, also known as SLAPP suits. Read this week’s email to learn more:

WOW! So grateful to have so many interested in filling Ian’s seat. It was absolutely wonderful to hear from the applicants at the meeting last night. Hoping that those candidates who were not selected continue to participate in the school community and be engaged with the board, because so many of them were truly incredible people. Thank you to the school board directors for your patient and thoughtful questions and comments to the applicants.

Congratulations to Eugene “Gene” Golson, who was selected by the board to fulfill the two year term. Gene was an educator and principal for more than 30 years in the Philadelphia School District. Gene cares deeply about addressing the achievement gap for black and brown students in the district and increasing equity. We are very lucky to have him as a board director!

Congratulations to Senior Cinai Lazarus, this year’s recipient of the Wissahickon Opportunity Scholarship.
