An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in school directors, further providing for eligibility and incompatible offices.
HB 1395 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to revise eligibility requirements and clarify incompatible offices for school directors in Pennsylvania. The bill changes the eligibility requirement from "citizen" to "resident" but adds a new restriction, making individuals ineligible to serve as a school director if an immediate family member is employed by that school district. It also clarifies that certain school employees can serve as school directors in a different district, with specific exceptions for joint schools. Additionally, the bill specifies that employees of career and technical schools, intermediate units, or community colleges cannot serve on the board of their employing institution or be assigned to a position under the supervision of a district where they serve as a school director.
