During a April 29, 2022 visit with Philadelphia-area students and staff, Governor Tom Wolf highlighted his plan to build on the record education investments his administration has made over the past seven years with an additional $1.9 billion for education from pre-k through college.
The governor’s budget announced in February calls for building on the momentum of previous years with a generational investment of $1.9 billion in education from pre-k through college, including:
● $1.25 billion in basic education funding through the Fair Funding Formula, bringing the total going through the formula to more than $2 billion, or 26.5 percent of state funding;
● $300 million for the groundbreaking Level Up initiative launched last year to support the 100 most underfunded schools; and
● A $200 million increase for Special Education.
