Pennsylvania State Education Association President Aaron Chapin is praising the commitment to education, and sees the billion-dollar proposal as a vital investment in public schools. Chapin notes an additional 75-million dollars will be distributed to all school districts through the basic education funding formula, which he calls “a big step forward.” The state House and Senate will need to vote on the budget by June.
