Pennsylvania students have a constitutional right to a “thorough and efficient” education—and a landmark 2023 court ruling made it clear that the state isn’t meeting that standard. The court found that heavy reliance on local property taxes has created major funding gaps, leaving districts with fewer resources at a disadvantage compared to wealthier areas.

In response, state leaders identified a $4.8 billion funding gap in 2024 and committed to addressing it moving forward.

For districts like Wyoming Valley West, this ruling highlights the importance of equitable funding to ensure every student has the opportunities and resources they deserve to succeed, academically, socially, and beyond.

Advisor Katie Finnegan, along with Dr. Suppon, recently accompanied nine students to EMPOWER: The Leadership Experience presented by Geisinger—northeastern Pennsylvania’s premier women’s leadership conference.
