Gov. Wolf: 'Massive Investment' in Education Means Better Future for All Pennsylvanians

Governor Tom Wolf today joined students, educators and elected officials in the Erie School District to celebrate the administration's historic $3.7 billion investment in public education over the past eight years.

"I promised the people of Pennsylvania that I would make education and the future of our children a priority again for the commonwealth. And I have fought every day to do just that," Governor Wolf said. "This year's budget includes a massive investment in our kids, our schools and our future. It's also an investment that could free up local communities to reduce property taxes."

This year's budget alone includes a record $1.8 billion in education investments.
