Education

Education in PA-3 spans the School District of Philadelphia (one of the largest and most-debated public school systems in the country), suburban districts with their own funding pressures, charter schools at multiple scales, public and private higher education, and the Pennsylvania state funding architecture that ties them together. The domain analysis will need to handle the funding-formula question seriously — Pennsylvania has long-running structural debates about how state aid is distributed — and the broader question of what "education" includes (libraries, after-school programs, civic education, vocational training).
