An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in pupils and attendance, further providing for military child advance enrollment.
HB 1069 modifies Pennsylvania's Public School Code to allow military-connected students to enroll in schools before establishing residency. Specifically, it requires school districts to permit children of active-duty military members (with official transfer orders) to enroll immediately upon providing military orders and proof of intent to move (e.g., lease, home purchase contract). The bill mandates that schools accept transferred credits with their original grades for GPA calculations and requires families to submit residency proof within 45 days of the military transfer date. This directly affects military families relocating within Pennsylvania, ensuring continuity in education during relocations.
