Pa. Democrats push education funding bill toward House vote
Pennsylvania House Democrats advance HB 2370 to raise public education spending by 1.1 billion with 14-11 committee approval. The plan aims to distribute 200 million to all districts via Fair Funding, about 728 million to underfunded districts, and 5.1 billion over seven years to close the adequacy gap, while proposing cyber charter reforms and nearly 1 billion in property tax relief. Republicans warn funds could deplete a 14 billion reserve unless tax cuts are pursued.
