The Pennsylvania Department of Education is pleased to announce the following online opportunity:
Dates: June 21, 2021 at 9:00 am–June 25, 2021 at 11:59 pm (just before midnight)
Location: Online Course

As outlined in Governor Wolf’s PASmart initiative, most good paying jobs in Pennsylvania, and across the country, over the next decade will require some form of education or training in the fields of Computer Science (CS) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). To help meet this demand, Pennsylvania, under the leadership of Governor Wolf and Acting Secretary of Education Ortega, is working to create and expand access to computer science learning for all.

The CSforALL-PA Summit offers educators, leaders, and stakeholders the opportunity to share, discuss, and collaboratively develop tools, resources, and practices for CS learning experiences. The Summit specifically focuses on equitably serving historically underserved populations including students with disabilities, English learners, and females. The theme for 2021, CS Celebrations, honors how educators across the commonwealth created, adapted, and expanded CS learning opportunities throughout a year of change.

Presenters: Various CS Professionals
Credit: Act 48 clock hours
Cost: There is no cost for this course

The next RCPA Member Update webinar is scheduled for Monday, April 26, 2021 from 2:00 pm–4:00 pm. We previously announced that Jen Swails, Budget Secretary, will be presenting and available for Q&A/discussion.

Following this presentation, RCPA has teamed up with Synergi Partners, the largest privately-owned tax credit and business incentive processer, to bring you the latest information surrounding the CARES Act Employee Retention Credit (ERC). The ERC allows businesses and non-government nonprofit organizations, including health and human service providers impacted by COVID-19, to receive a refundable, above the line Federal payroll tax credit.

Many human service providers are unaware that they may qualify for the ERC. During this webinar we will discuss eligibility, the expansion and extension of the ERC, compare the differences between 2020 and 2021 legislation, and showcase how the ERC can potentially benefit your organization.

Please register here to attend this webinar. If you have previously registered for this meeting to hear the Secretary Swails portion, you do NOT need to register again. We look forward to your participation!

ATI Advisory, supported by the Robert Wood Foundation, has conducted research to create a package of recommended legislative and administrative reforms around long-term services and supports (LTSS) and the caregiving workforce. The goal of their proposed reforms is to increase access to home and community-based services (HCBS), reduce the institutional bias in Medicaid, and create a strong caregiving workforce.

ATI Advisory’s proposed reforms include:

  • Providing states with financial relief through an enhanced federal match for Medicaid HCBS
  • Modernizing long-standing eligibility policies that make it difficult for individuals to receive care in the community and at home
  • Investing in the direct care workforce by increasing compensation, elevating the work, and implementing policies that engage, retain, and develop workers
