HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf is hitting the road to begin selling his proposal for what would be the largest-ever increase in aid for Pennsylvania’s public schools, several times over. Wolf appeared in Erie on Wednesday to tout the plan, just over $1.5 billion for instruction and operations, almost a quarter of what the state sends now. Districts that would see the biggest increases include smaller cities with an increasingly poorer tax base and growing suburbs where changing demographics are not fully taken into account by how the state funds schools. Meanwhile, 20 districts — primarily cities with the lowest household incomes — would get more than half of the $1.55 billion.
