HB 2067 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in duties and powers of boards of school directors, further providing for temporary emergency provisions.

HB 2067 amends Pennsylvania's Public School Code to clarify emergency powers for school boards during unforeseen crises. It allows boards to temporarily adjust school schedules (reducing daily hours or total days), shift to virtual learning, or furlough nonessential staff - subject to approval by the Secretary of Education and a maximum 4-year duration. The bill specifically enables districts to declare emergencies if the state budget isn't enacted within 60 days of a new fiscal year. This directly affects all Pennsylvania public school districts facing unexpected disruptions to normal operations.
