Gov. Tom Wolf met with Northern Lehigh School District officials Thursday morning as part of his "Schools That Teach" Tour.

The governor made Slatington Elementary School the first of his three stops, at which time he discussed his 2015-16 budget priorities.

A crowd of about 40, comprised of Northern Lehigh faculty, administrators, and board members, were in attendance to hear the governor's proposals on school funding.

District Superintendent Michael Michaels introduced Wolf, and said he was both encouraged, and humbled, by the governor's presence in the district.

Wolf said he is committed to passing a budget that addresses the core issues that face Pennsylvania.
