Key Issue: School Funding

After cutting $860 million from PA public schools last year, Gov. Corbett calls for additional cuts in his proposed 2012-2013 state budget.

This year, the governor is using accounting tricks and a complicated fiscal shell game to make it look like public school funding is increasing.
 
The governor’s proposal adds up to $100 million in additional cuts to public schools. If the governor’s plan is approved, public schools will have lost nearly $1 billion since he took office.
