PA Budget no es un juego de adivinanzas

2015 Budget Comparison

LESS IS LESS

Numbers don’t lie. Governor Wolf’s proposed budget would invest an additional $410 million in schools, with over $44 million coming to suburban districts in Southeast PA. The budget passed by the legislature and vetoed by the Governor underfunds Southeast PA schools by $33 million. It also fails to account for the disproportionate cuts felt by lower-income districts over the past four years.

DO NOT PASS GO

Public schools can’t catch a break. Five years since lawmakers did away with charter reimbursement, they have once again passed a budget with no relief for districts struggling to pay the costs of charter tuition. Reinstating a fair funding formula with charter reimbursement would save districts in the four suburban counties over $45 million next year. On top of that, lawmakers failed to enact simple reforms that could save Southeast districts an estimated $73 million in cyber costs. haga clic aquí to see what these missed opportunities cost your district.
