Pennsylvania Lawmakers Discuss K-12 Education Funding in State Budget

Pennsylvania's legislature is currently debating K-12 education funding as part of the state's budget cycle. Governor Josh Shapiro has proposed a $565 million allocation to address the "adequacy gap" in public school funding. Democratic lawmakers are also advocating for changes to tax credit programs that support private school scholarships, though some anticipate less contention on education funding this year compared to previous budget impasses.
