宾夕法尼亚州立法者面临关于为学校提供额外资金以维护教育公平的决定。 Pennsylvania lawmakers face decision on additional funding for schools to maintain educational equity.

宾夕法尼亚州去年向最贫穷学校拨款5亿美元,以弥补45亿美元的资金缺口。 Pennsylvania allocated $500 million to its poorest schools last year to address a $4.5 billion funding gap. 现在,立法者必须决定是否提供更多资金,以继续改善教育公平。 Now, lawmakers must decide whether to provide more funds to continue improving educational equity. 倡导者强调,需要不断提供财政支持,以避免对学生产生不利影响。 Advocates stress the need for ongoing financial support to avoid negative impacts on students. 州长将在2月初提出预算构想,而州参议员则计划在决定进一步支助之前审查上一年筹资的实效。 The governor will present his budget vision in early February, while state senators plan to review the effectiveness of the previous year's funding before deciding on further support.
