(Harrisburg) — The money Pennsylvania schools receive per pupil varies widely, and on average, students of color get fewer resources. The state has a formula designed to address the inequity, but it’s only used for some funding.
On Wednesday, around a thousand activists took a trip to the Capitol to call for change. Most ralliers with the faith group POWER came from southeastern Pennsylvania. They are pushing a bill that would apply the fair funding formula to all education money. It’s sponsored by Philadelphia Democratic Representative Chris Rabb.
