Policy decisions made in Harrisburg and Washington eventually reach every school community. Those decisions help determine what resources schools receive and how districts respond to the needs of their students.
Dr. Alex Rohrer, Community School Director at Burrowes Elementary School, will have an opportunity to study that process more closely as a member of the 2026–27 Pennsylvania Education Policy Fellowship Program!
The eight-month program is administered by The Education Policy and Leadership Center. It brings together professionals from across Pennsylvania whose work touches education and public policy. Since the program began in 1999, more than 700 leaders have completed the fellowship.
For Dr. Rohrer, the fellowship connects the relationships built each day at Burrowes Elementary School with the larger decisions shaping public education across Pennsylvania. He plans to bring what he learns back to Lancaster and use it to strengthen the work already underway for Burrowes Elementary School students.
