ADVISORY – DAUPHIN COUNTY – Shapiro Administration Ends Receivership for Harrisburg City School District
Pennsylvania Department of Education Acting Secretary Dr. Carrie Rowe will join Sen. Patty Kim, Rep. Dave Madsen, and officials from the Harrisburg City School District to announce that effective June 17, the district will no longer be in Receivership. The district entered Financial Recovery in December 2012 and entered Receivership in June 2019.
The Shapiro Administration is committed to ensuring schools have access to the investments and resources they need to serve learners in communities across the Commonwealth. Governor Shapiro’s proposed 2025-26 budget requests a $75 million increase for public K-12 schools and a $526 million increase for the Ready To Learn Block Grant; a $40 million increase for special education; and establishes a statewide cyber tuition rate of $8,000 per student per year to more closely align tuition with the actual costs of providing an online education, which is expected to save school districts an estimated $378 million annually.
