Gene Walker for District 9

---

The district is faced with major decisions that will impact its trajectory for years to come. Gene spearheaded the recent board adoption of the student outcome focused governance model to streamline the board’s work and prioritize the needs of students.

Under Gene’s leadership, PPS has begun the difficult yet necessary work of district reconfiguration. Modernizing the district’s footprint is essential to responding to the current academic, operational, and financial challenges PPS faces. Updated, well-resourced, and equitable learning

environments will improve outcomes all for students, teachers, and the community.

Gene is committed to ensuring the PPS budget reflects our community values while also planning for long-term stability. He is working to reclaim district money diverted to the City of Pittsburgh, and collaborating with the County to establish a routine tax assessment plan to stabilize revenue and create more equity in the property tax system.
