School Chief's Letter Sparks Pennsylvania Budget Clash
A Harrisburg letter from Dr. Boehm, Pennsylvania's superintendent of public instruction, alarms educators by blaming districts for financial woes. Rep. Johnson calls it a bombshell and says the letter misstates the crisis. Boehm notes 14 districts seek aid, 2,300 districts exist, with $179,000 available from a special fund. House actions hinge on education funding, tax powers, and fire safety spending, as lawmakers debate relief and reforms amid state aid shortfalls.
