for more money, the superintendent here in philadelphia tells me that this district did not budget or spend waysed on the larger numbers. lauren mayk, nbc 10 news. thank you. here is a closer look at the budget now and its impact across the state. the budget does include $3.1 billion for public schools, that's an increase of about $200 million. the budget also gives $578 million to state universities including penn and temple. the plan increases state spending 3%, but doesn't include a tax increase. republicans said they found the extra money from other sources. the third time's a charm for the christina school district in delaware. voters said yes to a referendum that will boost the district's operating budget more than $16 million. the district tried twice before to get the extra money which allows them to rehire some teachers and aides. voters said no to an

markets. the cheapest ones for friday's games, $450. some were close to 1,000. >> may have better luck on sunday if you can act fast. tickets were as low as $83. but that was on stub hub but going up. especially once the teams are set for the final game. >> some people will spend the holiday weekend watching basketball. others will be wanting to spend time outside. >> sheena parveen has been working on your easter forecast. >> you know, tomorrow we have rain moving in but this weekend the timing looks pretty perfect. the rain will be gone and i do have a close look at your easter weekend forecast coming up. >> think you are too young to have a heart attack? think again. why doctors say more young people are at risk.

there's an upswing in younger people having the most dangerous damaging heart attacks. it's because younger people are less healthy than in the past. the average age of someone suffering a heart attack that happens when the artery becomes blocked dropped from age 64 to 60. additionally the rates of smoking, obesity, high blood pressure and type ii diabetes have shot up. >> we have new information on a story we told you about last night. it turns out the man who shot former congresswoman gabby giffords is not suing her. it was a hoax. a philadelphia man is behind it. a mental lisdy turned prisoner pretended to be jailed mass murderer jared hoftner when he filed a lawsuit for $25 million. the handwritten suit was mailed from philadelphia on march 15. >> the terror attacks in brussels raised new concerns about safety. that's causing problems for college students trying to study abroad. we'll have their story next at

exploring options for rescheduling the trips. as for rescheduling to june. >> most seniors are going to college and going out of state so yeah. >> or they have jobs. >> of course. >> so instead of going home, a lot of those students will simply be staying home sleeping in next week, instead of taking that trip of a lifetime. in jersey city, brian thompson, "nbc 10 news." today christians here and around the world are observing holy thursday. ♪ holy thursday commemorates christ's last supper. philadelphia archbishop celebrated a mass this morning in center city at the basilica. the archbishop blessed holy oils. hopefully you have seen these as well, a lot of spring
