Governor Josh Shapiro and Secretary of Education Dr. Khalid N. Mumin joined legislators, students, and teachers during a visit to Amanda E. Stout Elementary in Reading to highlight investments in public K-12 education secured in the 2024-25 budget – including the creation of a new adequacy formula to drive dollars to the public schools that need them most.
The bipartisan 2024-25 budget includes a historic $1.11 billion in total increases in K-12 public education funding, the largest investment in Commonwealth history. This budget delivers significant progress on building strong and safe school communities, adequately and equitably funding public schools, supporting our teachers, and ensuring that every Pennsylvania child has the freedom to chart their own course and the opportunity to succeed.
