Good morning, Harrisburg.
🎓 Education
The board of governors for the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education approved a $139 per semester tuition increase to help cover a $40 million budget gap—raising annual costs by $278 at state-owned universities.
Tuition bills will be sent next week as officials wait for a 6.5% funding boost from lawmakers.
🏈 Sports
Carter Smith, a rising senior at Mifflin County High School, won state titles in cross country and indoor track and claimed a national title in the mile after breaking out in his sophomore and junior seasons.
He will try to win NXN and break the four-minute barrier in his senior year — his coach says he sets a new standard for local runners.
