for 2004 Pennsylvania General Election Legislative Candidates
September 27, 2004 The Education Policy and Leadership Center 800 North Third St., Suite 408 Harrisburg, PA 17102 To Whom It May Concern: I spent seventeen years on my local school board and have a strong twenty-two year record in the Pennsylvania Legislature in support of public education and the funding of the same and I pledge to continue that support. I have done a little background work and am not convinced that money spent alone is the total answer. Many districts with a high to very high poverty rating spend far less on a per pupil basis than many of our suburban schools with equal or better SAT's. Much of your questionnaire seems to imply that the problem of unequal spending per child is a cause of unequal attainment. Sincerely, Robert W. Godshall State Representative 53rd District
