jan 1, 1983 - Equalized Subsidy for Basic Education
Description:
The PA state legislature replaced the Basic Instructional Subsidy with the Equalized Subsidy for Basic Education. More revisions to ESBE had a big impact on the distribution of state aid. A “hold-harmless” provision said that no district would get less than a 2 percent increase each year and no district would get an increase above 7.45 percent. These changes hurt poor districts while benefiting wealthier ones.
