A coalition fighting for equitable education funding in Pennsylvania has named York City the most underfunded school district in the state based on per-student spending, and one of the most severely underfunded overall.
Underfunded by $51.65 million in basic and special education annually and by $6,565 per student, the York City School District is one of 19 within the state’s 500 school districts that is underfunded by more than $10 million.
