Wilkes-Barre Area School Districtâs basic-education subsidy would go up by almost $28.7 million compared to the 2019-20 subsidy â an increase of almost 95% â under Gov. Tom Wolfâs proposed budget for 2021-22.
It would be the largest increase for a school district served by Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18. It would also be a result of Wolfâs plan to use the stateâs fair-funding formula to determine all basic education subsidy amounts.
Currently only 11% of state funds flow through the fair-funding formula because it only applies to increased funding since 2016. The 5-year-old school funding formula is designed to iron out inequities in how Pennsylvania funds the poorest public schools.
