PSEA.org - State funding cuts hit urban schools hardest
Cutting $860 million from programs that work for students is unprecedented for all of Pennsylvania’s school districts. But, for the state’s urban schools, the cuts are even deeper and more painful.
The average state funding cut was $1.7 million per district, or 11 percent, according to a PSEA analysis. However, for urban school districts, which tend to have higher concentrations of poverty and students in need, the average cut was $16.3 million, or 13.8 percent. Urban districts affected include Allentown, Lancaster, Reading, and Harrisburg.
Still waiting for conservative to post the numbers from his school district. I'm sure he's putting it together now
