After Gov. Tom Wolf mentioned Misericordia University’s Women with Children (WWC) homes in his budget address, Rep. Boback attended a news conference highlighting the program.

WWC, one of only eight such programs in the country, empowers economically disadvantaged single mothers by providing the opportunity to complete a college degree, creating brighter futures for themselves and for their children.

Rep. Boback recently met with Pennsylvania Secretary of Education Pedro Rivera to discuss implementation of Act 35 of 2018, her legislation that requires public school students to take a locally developed assessment in civics between grades seven and twelve.

Starting in the 2020-2021 school year, every public school district shall administer at least once a locally developed assessment of U.S. History, Government and Civics to students during grades 7-12.
