In rightly asking us to advocate for school transportation for all students (https://www.votervoice.net/BroadcastLinks/FMMTkN3gUSYvGi4yr6Wafg), the Pa Catholic Conference states "School districts are required to provide transportation to both public and nonpublic students, even during the pandemic." LONG before the pandemic, that has NOT been happening with the Morrisville school district. Though stuck with paying for the Morrisville School District, Morrisville families are forced to paying for high school transportation to nonpublic schools. Please remind state representatives (RepWarren@pahouse.com, Jgalloway@pahouse.net), the state senator (senatorsantarsiero@pasen.com), and the U.S. representative (BriFitz8@gmail.com) of their duties to their Morrisville constituents. They should be urging other districts to accept a merger with Morrisville (which is woefully shy of students) and/or advocating a voucher system that would truly benefit ALL families.
