Lancaster County’s three poorest schools are set to get an extra boost in the 2021-22 state budget to prop up low-income districts following the COVID-19 pandemic, as part of a more than $6.5 billion investment in K-12 education. The Ephrata Area School District, Columbia School District and School District of Lancaster are among the state’s 100 poorest school districts slated to receive a piece of a $100 million “Level Up” supplement using federal COVID-19 relief dollars.  In addition to this increase, all county districts will each receive an increase as part of a $200 million increase in education spending. This is nowhere near the $1 billion Gov. Tom Wolf pitched in his February 2021-22 budget proposal, though House Republicans say they have received Wolf’s agreement on the full budget package.
