Governor Tom Corbett today outlined his agenda for education reform in Pennsylvania.

"We are set to start work on one of the most important jobs state government can do,'' Corbett said, and that is to rearrange our priorities when it comes to education.

"It needs to be: child, parent, teacher… and just in that order,'' Corbett said, speaking at the Lincoln Charter School in York.
