Legislators\, stakeholders\, advocates\, and parents dominate the vast majority of Pennsylvania’s public debate on hot button issues around education\, including equity in schools\, school climate\, and student mental health. Rarely do the students who are the subjects of these debates get to weigh in on the issues themselves. This hearing will be an opportunity for students from 8 diverse school districts in Montgomery County who have been engaged in dialogue and data-driven research on these critical issues to present their research and experiences to policy makers. Specifically\, students will present findings from research projects they conducted using the Psychological Sense of School Membership survey within their schools\, that speak to questions of belonging within schools and equity between different student groups. The hearing will give policy makers a deeper understanding of school environments that affect youth mental health\, school climate and safety\, and inequality – all of which have been identified as top education concerns for policy development by members of the Education Committee and the caucus at large. \nThis hearing will be held at Norristown Area School District | Administration Building | 401 North Whitehall Road\, West Norriton\, PA 19403 with a ZOOM option for those who wish to participate virtually. \nIf participating virtually\, register in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUlde-tpz8uHtFraJyxOfzrnbeuesjcXHh- URL:https://pasenatorcappelletti.com/event/policy-hearing-student-voices-in-education/ LOCATION:Norristown Area School District | Administration Building\, 401 North Whitehall Road\, West Norriton\, PA\, 19403\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://pasenatorcappelletti.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Policy-Hearing-Education-June-3-2022-New-location.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220428T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220428T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T142515 CREATED:20220325T143902Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220421T193436Z UID:10000027-1651140000-1651150800@pasenatorcappelletti.com SUMMARY:Policy Hearing: Innovations for Economic Recovery: Childcare and College Students DESCRIPTION:On April 28th\, Senators Collett\, Cappelletti\, Schwank\, and Comitta will hold a hearing to discuss the challenges facing student and staff at institutions of higher education surrounding childcare. Lack of affordable and accessible childcare has impacted every industry and become dire during the pandemic. Colleges are in a unique position to help bolster the childcare space while preparing current and future economic contributors for the challenges and opportunities in a COVID-endemic world. The hearing will explore the need: with testimony coming directly from students; the means: hearing direction from institutions which offer childcare; and the opportunity and risks involved from researchers and advocates. There is nothing in statute which limits a university or college’s ability to offer childcare and the PASSHE system could use the service as a way to bolster recruitment of both students and staff. Gov. Wolf recently proposed expanding childcare offerings as a way to make the Commonwealth a more attractive and competitive employer. There is no reason our higher education institutions shouldn’t be utilizing the same tactics. \nThis hearing will be held at Montgomery County Community College − Health Sciences Center − Room 1804 with a ZOOM option for those who wish to participate virtually. \nMontgomery County Community College – Blue Bell Campus – Room 1804 in the Health Sciences Center is on the first floor here. \n340 DeKalb Pike\nBlue Bell\, PA 19422 \nIf participating virtually\, register in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwocOGprzMqHNzjciuPLuRybB13Q1HOqjfy URL:https://pasenatorcappelletti.com/event/policy-hearing-higher-education-child-care-innovations-for-economic-recovery/ LOCATION:Montgomery County Community College – Health Sciences Center – Room 1804\, 340 DeKalb Pike\, Blue Bell\, PA\, 19422\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://pasenatorcappelletti.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/PolicyHearing_042822.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220407T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220407T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T142515 CREATED:20220316T012921Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220323T141745Z UID:10000026-1649325600-1649336400@pasenatorcappelletti.com SUMMARY:Policy Hearing: #ItsOnUs: Combatting Sexual Assault on Campus DESCRIPTION:On April 7th\, 2022\, Senators Muth\, Cappelletti\, Schwank\, Collett\, Hughes\, and Santarsiero will host a hearing on the movement against sexual assault on college campus and the Governor’s It’s On Us package of bills designed to address this issue. \nThe It’s On Us campaign is a national initiative started by the Obama Administration to raise awareness about sexual assault; teaching participants that assault includes non-consensual sex\, advising them on how to identify dangerous situations\, empowering them to intervene\, and urging them to create an environment of support for victims and survivors.  \nThis hearing is meant to highlight the need for Pennsylvania to pass the “It’s On Us” legislative package\, which consist of four bills that are the next steps to preventing assault on campus and ensuring victims get the help they deserve. If passed\, the senate package\, which includes SB 730\, SB 909\, and SB 785\, will enact a ‘yes means yes’ law\, will strengthen protections for victims of on-campus crime\, and will teach middle and high school students to know and prevent dating violence\, sexual assault\, sexual harassment and stalking. Additionally\, SR 122\, included in the package\, creates a task force to study sexual assault\, dating violence\, domestic violence and stalking. This hearing will highlight the issues these bills cover and offer diverse perspectives to give lawmakers a statewide picture of where our efforts are when it comes to ending sexual assault and dating violence on campuses in Pennsylvania. \nThis hearing will be fully virtual. \nRegister in advance: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAufu2qqj0oGdEsSWldRLOhHytlFNMWLwZD URL:https://pasenatorcappelletti.com/event/policy-hearing-itsonus-combatting-sexual-assault-on-campus/ LOCATION:Virtual Event\, PA\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://pasenatorcappelletti.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Policy-Hearing-April-7-2022.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220405T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220405T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T142515 CREATED:20220401T165915Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220401T180743Z UID:10000028-1649181600-1649185200@pasenatorcappelletti.com SUMMARY:Financial and Tax Literacy Event DESCRIPTION:Finances can be stressful and confusing.
