 Allegheny Institute
Advocates of the notion that more money for schools automatically translates into better education are resorting to quoting the Pennsylvania Constitution as proof that not enough is being spent.
To wit: ‘(the) General Assembly shall provide for the maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of public education to serve the needs of the commonwealth.’ They obviously interpret ‘thorough and efficient’ to mean that as long as academic achievement is dismal, spend more money and when that doesn’t work, spend more.

 Influenza Vaccination Status of Persons Aged 65-79 Years -- Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, February-March 1997
A sample size of 128 persons was estimated to provide 80% power and a 5% level of significance for detecting a difference of 20 percentage points between Medicare claims data for the 1996-97 influenza season and self-reported vaccine use among residents aged greater than or equal to 65 years.
Sources of these limitations may be an insufficient number of claims filed by physicians in Allegheny County for influenza vaccinations and an increased enrollment of Medicare beneficiaries in managed-care organizations, which do not report vaccination data to the Health Care Financing Administration.
However, because less than 21% of residents aged greater than or equal to 65 years in Allegheny County were members of a managed-care organization in 1996 (4), the low vaccination claims probably were not caused by enrollment of Medicare beneficiaries in managed-care organizations.
