NORRISTOWN School officials, parents, and activists are planning a rally at the Montgomery County Courthouse on Thursday morning to advocate for a new state education funding formula.

A legislative commission that has been studying the issue for a year was due to release its recommendations Wednesday. The commission announced Tuesday that it was pushing the deadline back a week.

At the rally, Superintendent Janet Samuels of the Norristown Area School District – one of the hardest-hit districts in Montgomery County – will speak about the need for a system that is fair and reliable.

Local actors will also perform monologues from the recent theater production “School Play.”

The rally, organized by the advocacy group Public Citizens for Children and Youth, is to begin at 11 a.m. on the steps of the county courthouse, 2 E. Airy St. – Jessica Parks
