Rep. Pamela Hornberger, from the 32nd District, offered the following invocation:

 

“In honor of Mother’s Day last Sunday, a prayer to the Mother of the Lord for all mothers.

Mary, on this day when we honor all mothers, we turn to you. We thank the Lord Whom you serve for the great gift of motherhood. Never has it been known that anyone who sought your intercession was left unaided by grace. Dear Mother, thank you for your ‘Yes’ to the invitation of the angel which brought heaven to earth and changed human history. You opened yourself to God’s word and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

Dear mother, intercede for all our mothers. Ask your Divine Son to give them the grace of surrendered love so that they could join with you in giving their own ‘Fiat.’ May they find daily strength to say yes to the call to the sacrificial love- the very heart of the vocation of motherhood. May their love and witness be a source of great inspiration for all of us called to follow your Son.

Mother of the Word Incarnate, pray for us who have recourse to you...

In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.”

Rep. Weiss, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I believe that HB 4421 by in large does get critical support out to schools who need it now. However, after the passage of the last school aid supplemental, HB 4018, many districts made last minute changes to accommodate moving towards a minimum of 20 hours / week in person instructional time. Districts had to make last minute adjustments as a result of a requirement to offer 20 hours by March 22nd in order to qualify for equalization payments. Now, after districts have made these necessary changes, HB 4421 would require districts to offer 25 hours of in person instructional time per week (averaging the weeks of April 12th - June 4th) in order to qualify for 100% of their equalization payments. Districts have had to deal with unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to meet the unique needs of their communities, students, and parents. The legislature should be working to alleviate challenges, not throwing last minute barriers in the way of getting critical supports into the classroom.”
