宾夕法尼亚州学校在预算僵局中面临28.7亿美元的资金拖延。
Pennsylvania schools face $2.87 billion funding delay amid budget impasse, union says.
宾夕法尼亚州的教师工会宾夕法尼亚州教育协会(宾夕法尼亚州教育协会)报告说,州预算僵局推迟了对公立学校近28.7亿美元的补贴,其中17.5亿美元的基础教育和特殊教育欠款仍未支付。
Pennsylvania's teachers union, the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA), reports that the state's budget impasse has delayed nearly $2.87 billion in subsidies to public schools, with $1.75 billion due for basic and special education still unpaid.
PSEA批评参议院共和党人将私立学校凭单置于公立学校供资之上,并敦促通过预算决议,避免学校财政紧张,包括有些地区需要贷款。
The PSEA criticizes Senate Republicans for prioritizing private school vouchers over public school funding and urges a budget resolution to avoid financial strain on schools, including the need for some districts to take out loans.
