Pennsylvania Budget Crisis: Republicans and Democrats Clash Over School Funding

Souderton Area School District Feels the Pinch: Unfair Budget Proposals Cause Concern

According to Audacy, the Pennsylvania state government is trying to make a budget, but it’s not going well. The main problem is that the Republicans and Democrats don’t agree on how much money to give to schools and how much to cut from taxes.

One Republican, Donna Scheuren, says that the Democrats’ plan would be unfair to some schools, like the Souderton Area School District. She thinks it’s wrong that they would have to give more money to other schools. The district’s superintendent, Frank Gallagher, agrees. He says that the school has already raised taxes in the past and can’t afford to give more.
