Looking back on a decade of education advocacy, I feel very proud of the impact that Education Voters of PA is having.
Susan Spicka is the executive director of Education Voters of PA.She has been an active volunteer in her children’s public schools since her oldest daughter entered kindergarten in 2007 and she served one term on her local school board. Prior to moving to Shippensburg in 2002, Susan taught English in a high school with a high number of economically disadvantaged students in Columbus, Ohio. During this time, she witnessed first-hand both the incredible power of public education to change the lives of students and the challenges facing our public schools. Her teaching experience solidified her belief that all children, no matter where they live, deserve to have an equal opportunity to receive a great public education.
