- Pennsylvania state budget includes $157 million more for Philadelphia’s schools

The budget includes $565 million in 'adequacy funding' following a court ruling on unconstitutional school funding, but falls short of Governor Josh Shapiro’s requests for a school cellphone ban and expanded early childhood education funding.
