Pennsylvania's $47.6B budget increases education spending by $1B, including $225M for basic education and $100M for special education. The budget also provides $100M for mental health and physical safety, and creates a $493.8M "adequacy supplement" and a $32M "tax equity supplement". The budget falls short of the proposed investment by Democrats and is less than what public education advocates argue is necessary for substantial change.
