PAPSA has stepped up its advocacy efforts by joining the PA Coalition of Student Services Associations. Along with PAPSA, six other educational associations have joined together to advocate for the effective delivery of pupil/student services in the commonwealth and will be calling on the Basic Education Funding Commission (BEFC) to ensure that funding for student services professionals is included in the outcome of the Commission’s work and in keeping with Chapter 12 requirements. Those organizations are: PA School Counselors Association (PSCA), PA Association of Student Assistance Professionals (PASAP), PA Association of School Nurses and Practitioners (PASNAP), Association of School Psychologists of Pennsylvania (ASPP), and PA Association of School Social Work Personnel (PASSWP).

Interested parties can contact [email protected] with suggestions with regard to these advocacy efforts.
