The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has passed HB 2370, a significant public school funding reform aimed at addressing years of underfunding. The bill, which promises billions more for Pennsylvania schools, represents a transformative change to ensure fair and adequate funding for all public schools across the state. This historic legislation, passed with bipartisan support, now moves to the GOP-controlled Senate, where it is expected to face further scrutiny. The reform comes after a long-standing court decision that confirmed the insufficient state funding for public schools. The passage of HB 2370 marks a significant victory following a 10+ year fight, and Philadelphia education leaders recognize the opportunity it presents for the 200,000 students in the city.
