The latest plan to send more money to poorer schools in Pennsylvania is gaining steam at the Capitol in Harrisburg. Democrats in the Pennsylvania House are hoping to find the support to get their so-called ‘fair funding’ package through the Senate and onto Governor Shapiro’s desk. The proposal would spend an extra five-billion-dollars on 370 different school districts across the state. The legislation comes after a lawsuit that said the Commonwealth wasn’t sending enough money to low income schools. Republicans in the Pennsylvania Senate, however, remain unconvinced.
