ADVISORY – PHILADELPHIA – Governor Shapiro to Highlight Positive Results of Historic Investments in K-12 Public Education, Importance of Continuing to Deliver for PA Students
Governor Josh Shapiro will visit A. Philip Randolph Career and Technical High School to meet with students, teachers, and legislators and highlight how the historic funding he secured for public K-12 education is leading to positive results in schools across the Commonwealth. In his first two budgets, Governor Shapiro secured historic investments in our public schools, students, and teachers, delivering the largest increase in K-12 education funding in Pennsylvania history – and schools are now putting those investments to work.
Governor Shapiro’s 2025-26 budget proposal builds on that foundation by proposing new funding for K-12 public education, with a focus on driving more dollars to the schools that need them most. It also continues our progress to build strong and safe school communities, hire and support our teachers, and expand mental health resources. The Governor’s budget creates more opportunity for our students and builds on our progress to bring vo-tech back into the classroom with a $5.5 million increase for Career and Technical Education (CTE).
