Governor Tom Wolf today celebrated a budget that solidifies his commitment to education at all levels with a historic $1.8 billion investment increase. The Wolf Administration has increased education funding by more than $3.7 billion since 2015, ensuring the opportunity for Pennsylvanians to succeed with a top-tier education without shouldering taxpayers with the bulk of the responsibility for funding schools."Since I took office, Pennsylvania's students and families have been my top priority. We have made long overdue investments in the people of Pennsylvania, including better education for all, safer communities, and a brighter future," Gov. Wolf said. "Securing $1.8 billion for education in this budget furthers these efforts and results in a historic $3.7 billion in investments my administration has made in education at all levels over the last eight years. I'm extremely proud of what we have accomplished."Investing in a Quality Education for AllThis budget builds on the governor's commitment to putting resources back into schools with a new $1.8 billion increase to benefit students from pre-k through college. This investment-which includes $850 million in reoccurring funding to allow school districts to invest in student learning while simultaneously cutting local property taxes-is on top of the already historic $1.9 billion increase in education funding Gov. Wolf secured in previous years for a total of $3.7 billion in new education funding during the Wolf Administration.
