Pennsylvania state budget includes $157 million more for Philadelphia’s schools
Pennsylvania's 2026-2027 state budget allocates $11.8 billion for schools, including a $157 million increase for Philadelphia’s district amid declining enrollment. The budget addresses a court-ordered school funding reform with $565 million in adequacy funding, boosts basic and special education funding, and adds stipends for teacher training, though it falls short of the governor’s proposals for early childhood education and a school cellphone ban.
