The biggest cuts, on a per-student basis, hit the poorest and lowest-performing districts hardest. Chester Upland in Delaware County would have the largest reduction in the state, about 17 percent of its budget.
Corbett's proposed cuts would be most deeply felt in the poorest districts, because they get a larger percentage of their budgets from the state and because funding formulas for Basic Education tilted heavily under Rendell toward districts with high poverty and high taxes.
