PA Schools Work

Thank you to the lawmakers in Harrisburg who kept their promise to Pennsylvania’s public school students. @GovernorShapiro @PaHouseDems @PaSenateDems @PASenateGOP @PAHouseGOP

These resources will represent a third step toward closing an estimated $4.5 billion funding gap, and education advocates say the money is already paying dividends in Keystone State classrooms. goerie.com/story/news/edu…

This progress reflects a sustained commitment to the Commonwealth's constitutional obligation to provide every student a thorough and efficient system of public education, regardless of zip code, as directed by the Commonwealth Court. paschoolswork.org/bipartisan-com…

When schools have adequate funding, they can invest in supporting families overcome obstacles and get students back into the classroom.

We'll shout it from the rooftops: It's time to finish the job and adequately fund PA's public schools!

The PA Budget may be final in the coming days. Stay tuned to learn what it will mean for education funding and if the legislature will continue to prioritize closing the adequacy gap. spotlightpa.org/news/2026/06/e…

Quality education transforms lives, but only when every child has access to it. Pennsylvania’s young people and families are calling for adequate funding for all PA public schools and the chance to build a better future.

From coming off the state’s school improvement list to expanding MTSS and mental health supports, New Kensington‑Arnold is showing what’s possible when districts receive the resources they need.

Pennsylvania students deserve public schools that are fully funded and full of opportunity!

Adequacy funding is allowing districts to build a strong educational foundation for students and set them up for a lifetime of success.

Adequacy funding is creating real opportunities — from high schoolers earning career‑boosting credentials to elementary students finally getting the full‑time support they need to thrive.

PA students are paying attention and demanding action! The courts have already ruled our school funding system unconstitutional. Now it’s on our leaders to act and deliver the change students deserve.

“These investments are making a tangible difference for kids in buildings across the entire state,” said Susan Spicka, a public schools advocate. ydr.com/story/news/pol…

Adequacy funding is strengthening Homer‑Center School District — helping keep staff, protect programs, and better meet students’ academic and emotional needs.

When leaders stay committed to progress, districts can build real opportunity, protect essential programs, and invest in the futures students deserve.

When districts receive the resources students truly need, they can protect high‑quality programs, strengthen special education services, and ensure every learner has the support to succeed.

New report released today! The Impact of Pennsylvania’s Adequacy Supplement details how PA’s 1st year of the new adequacy supplement is helping school districts hire essential staff, reduce class sizes, and more! paschoolswork.org/adequacy-repor…

Districts are already seeing real change because of adequacy funding. With additional resources, they’re able to hire more staff and provide supports that directly benefit students and those investments are making a difference.
