Pennsylvania State Education Association

The absence of a Pennsylvania budget — which means a lack of state money flowing to school districts — has educators considering loans and contemplating what bills to let sit unpaid.

In separate federal lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, three union members say Pennsylvania State Education Association failed to protect their data then waited more than eight months to let them know about the breach.

With President Donald Trump wanting to abolish the department, it announced a nearly 50% reduction in its workforce this week.
