An Act establishing the Executive Functioning and Study Skills Grant Program for public school entities and the Executive Functioning and Study Skills Fund.
HB 2149 establishes a grant program to help Pennsylvania public schools teach students in grades 6-12 executive functioning and study skills, such as time management, stress reduction, and note-taking. The Pennsylvania Department of Education will administer annual grants for schools to implement evidence-based programs during or after school hours, focusing on skills like goal setting, organization, and memory techniques. Schools must apply yearly by December 15 with detailed plans on fund usage, and grants must supplement - never replace - existing school budgets. The Department will review applications, disburse funds, and monitor compliance to ensure proper use of resources.
