HARRISBURG (100.1 FM and AM 1020 KDKA) — On Thursday, the Wolf administration announced an investment of $1.3 billion into Pennsylvania public schools.
The investment wants to promote equality in education funding and cut taxes for working families and businesses.
The Wolf administration believes that the current system is "unfair," so reallocating funding could equilibrate the inequity in that system.
"Pennsylvania's school funding system is unfair to students, teachers, and communities," said Gov. Wolf. "The state still largely funds schools based on student enrollment from 30 years ago, which underfunds growing districts from our small towns to our big cities. My common-sense plan restores fairness to school funding to ensure every community can provide the quality education students need to succeed in life."
