Learn How Your School District Has Been Affected by State Underfunding

From PA Schools Work (https://paschoolswork.org/):

Rising mandated costs are an increasing problem for school districts across Pennsylvania, and funding from the state is not keeping up with costs. The PA Schools Work campaign this week released our updated 2021 school district fact sheets, which provide information on state and local funding of public schools by district.

As the fact sheets show, school districts are struggling with increased costs while year after year the state legislature is not doing its part. Six out of seven school districts are not adequately funded because of the lack of state support for K-12 education. And virtually every school district (98%) has raised local property taxes to make up for Harrisburg’s failure to live up to its responsibilities to our children and our state’s future.
