NEW REPORT: How adequacy funding is changing the game in PA schools
Posted by PA Schools Work on June 9, 2026
PA Schools Work released a new report, The Impact of Pennsylvania’s Adequacy Supplement, that answers the question every Pennsylvanian deserves to ask: Is the Commonwealth’s new investment in our public schools actually working?
The answer, in classroom after classroom across the state, is yes.

The inaugural $494 million tranche, included in the 2024-25 budget, reached 348 school districts educating nearly 1.5 million students — 88% of all students in Pennsylvania.
