The last year has been an exceptionally difficult year for all Americans, but for the disability community, it has been especially taxing. As our world has changed, many needs have become heightened and have shifted. We would like to hear your opinions on our program comment period for our fiscal year 2022 annual program goals and objectives. Disability Rights Pennsylvania (DRP) invites public feedback on the issues that matter most to individuals with disabilities, along with the families and organizations supporting them. August 1, 2021 will be the final day to offer public comments.

DRP will also be hosting 8 forums for community members to communicate directly with DRP on our Goals and Objectives. If you would like to be notified of upcoming forums, join our mailing list for upcoming information on how to register.

Specifically, DRP asks to hear your ideas about the impact of COVID-19, and any associated advocacy that should be facilitated because of the virus, the vaccination process, as well as current, new, and emerging issues since last year’s comment period.

Location: Online Course

As outlined in Governor Wolf’s PASmart initiative, most good paying jobs in Pennsylvania, and across the country, over the next decade will require some form of education or training in the fields of Computer Science (CS) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). To help meet this demand, Pennsylvania, under the leadership of Governor Wolf and Acting Secretary of Education Ortega, is working to create and expand access to computer science learning for all.

The CSforALL-PA Summit offers educators, leaders, and stakeholders the opportunity to share, discuss, and collaboratively develop tools, resources, and practices for CS learning experiences. The Summit specifically focuses on equitably serving historically underserved populations including students with disabilities, English learners, and females. The theme for 2021, CS Celebrations, honors how educators across the commonwealth created, adapted, and expanded CS learning opportunities throughout a year of change.

Presenters: Various CS Professionals
Credit: Act 48 clock hours
Cost: There is no cost for this course

The next RCPA Member Update webinar is scheduled for Monday, April 26, 2021 from 2:00 pm–4:00 pm. We previously announced that Jen Swails, Budget Secretary, will be presenting and available for Q&A/discussion.

Following this presentation, RCPA has teamed up with Synergi Partners, the largest privately-owned tax credit and business incentive processer, to bring you the latest information surrounding the CARES Act Employee Retention Credit (ERC). The ERC allows businesses and non-government nonprofit organizations, including health and human service providers impacted by COVID-19, to receive a refundable, above the line Federal payroll tax credit.

Many human service providers are unaware that they may qualify for the ERC. During this webinar we will discuss eligibility, the expansion and extension of the ERC, compare the differences between 2020 and 2021 legislation, and showcase how the ERC can potentially benefit your organization.

Please register here to attend this webinar. If you have previously registered for this meeting to hear the Secretary Swails portion, you do NOT need to register again. We look forward to your participation!
