City Schools Face Off for Funding from the New Pittsburgh Courier
"In the Greater Pittsburgh region, there are 247 K-12 schools, including 161 public schools and 86 private schools. With the nation’s growing emphasis on “school choice” more and more schools are competing for not only the attention of parents, but also the attention of private and public donations. The recent education budget cuts at the state level left public schools in the region struggling to find ways to adjust to funding losses. With these recent cuts and their impact on the Pittsburgh Public School District, many are left wondering how the region’s public charter schools and private schools are affected."
