Please Support Fair Funding Education in Governor Wolf’s Budget Proposal!

I am writing to ask that you support this cornerstone component in Governor Wolf's proposed budget for 2021-2022: The roughly $1.3 billion increase in Basic Education Funding. Not only will this provide vital resources for schools and reduce the burden on local taxpayers, but it also, finally, begins to move the Commonwealth towards a system of fair and equitable funding for Pennsylvania public schools. As your constituent, I’m asking you to support this funding and make sure it is part of the final budget that is placed on Governor Wolf’s desk. Yes, this involves spending more money. But we cannot continue to discriminate against the Commonwealth’s growing and diverse school districts, which have been systematically hurt by underfunding for years. I have faith that you will do what is right and just for our children.
