Republican Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano has alluded to proposals that would be a transformative overhaul of the more than $30 billion K-12 education system, with public dollars eligible to fund students’ private education.
During his campaign, Mastriano’s sometimes conflicting statements have overall shown an effort to work with a likely GOP-controlled Legislature to propel far-reaching school choice programs, like in Arizona, by shifting state funds to students rather than schools.
