Much-delayed funding is finally on its way to school districts in Pennsylvania.
The state Treasurer announced Monday that over $3 billion dollars is being distributed to school districts, counties, and social service agencies, as part of Governor Tom Wolf’s line item veto of a Republican-backed state budget.
Steve Robinson, spokesman for the Pennsylvania School Boards Association, says they’re encouraged by that news, but the work is far from over.
“This is only a temporary fix,” Robinson says. “We continue to call on the legislature and the governor to continue to work toward a budget that significantly invests in the future of Pennsylvania and provides pension reform for school districts.”
He added that if a final budget is not approved, school districts will find themselves in the same financial situation they were in prior to the budget impasse.
The post Funding On Its Way To School Districts appeared first on Inside Butler County – Butler, PA.
