Despite claims by the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers (PFT),
more school spending does not translate to higher student performance.

education and that more money would solve the school district’s problems.
The Philadelphia School District has been battling a $304
million budget shortfall all year. While the city and state scrambled to find
extra money for the continually struggling school district — scraping together
over $170 million in loans, grants and increased tax revenues — the PFT
has refused to take any pay cuts or other work-rule concessions in negotiations
on a contract that expired in August. The school district originally asked for
$133 million in union concessions from the PFT and other district employee
unions.

More and more state money has been going to the school district,
however, and its college-bound students show little sign of improvement.

Even in the 2011-2012 school year, when President Barack Obama’s
stimulus came to an end and federal money to the school district was cut,
scores increased slightly. And from the 2009-2010 to the 2010-2011 school
year — when the stimulus was in effect — the SAT average actually dropped even
though the school district received the most basic education funding ever.

PFT likes to blame the education cuts on Republican Gov. Tom
Corbett, but basic education funding from the state increased when he took
office. The state simply could not fill the hole left by the drying up of
federal stimulus money.

Over the past 13 years (the period for which the Pennsylvania
Department of Education has SAT data), average SAT scores have remained
relatively flat while school spending has skyrocketed. Verbal and math scores
have remained in the 400-450 range. The highest possible score on each
component of the SAT is 800.
