On January 24, 2024, the PA Coalition of Student Services Associations (PCSSA) met via Zoom. Dr. Doug Arnold represented PAPSA at the meeting.

Items discussed at the meeting included a review of the Basic Education Funding Commission (BEFC) Report at which Adam Oldham represented the PCSSA. Of the recommendations made by the BEFC to the Governor, General Assembly, and the State Board of Education, of note are the need for $5.4 billion dollars to brings PA schools to “adequacy” and the need to invest in student supports. The committee also worked on developing a framework for the delivery of student services in the state. Part of the process includes examining frameworks in place in our neighboring states. PA currently has no framework.
