Governor Wolf’s final budget 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:
-$70 million for Pre-K Counts and Head Start Supplemental Assistance.
-$1.25 billion in basic education funding, bringing the total going through the Fair Funding Formula to more than $2 billion, or 26.5 percent of state funding. 
-$300 million increase for Level Up.
-$200 million increase for Special Education.
-$125 million for higher education institutions.

One of the programs begun by the Wolf Administration is Level Up. First funded in last year’s budget, the program provided a $100 million equity supplement to the state’s 100 most underfunded school districts. The governor’s current budget proposal calls for $300 million to ensure that children receive an equitable education regardless of the financial resources available in their community.

According to the governor, during the past seven years he has secured an additional $1.8 billion in funding for pre-K through college, including more than $1.1 billion for basic education, $190 million for special education, and $40 million for career and technical education. The 2022-23 budget builds on education and workforce development programs.
