Gov. Josh Shapiro’s budget plan released Tuesday calls for a $1 billion increase in basic education funding.

It includes a new way to distribute money to bring schools closer to adequate funding while reimbursing high-taxing districts, writes Maddie Hanna for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Under the plan for Delaware County, Upper Darby would receive the biggest increase, at more than $16 million, while Marple Newtown School District would receive the smallest increase, at $110,988.

The proposed plan assesses what each school district needs to spend to adequately educate students.

Shapiro’s plan also includes “tax equity supplements” to districts that have high property tax rates.

Here’s a breakdown of what the Basic Education Funding increase would be per Delaware County district in descending order of amounts:

• Upper Darby School District’s Basic Education Funding would increase by $16,814,658
• Chester-Upland School District–$11,041,528
• William Penn School District–$8,346,027
