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 residence and right to free school privileges; and, in charter schools, further providing for enrollment and notification.
This bill updates Pennsylvania's Public School Code to standardize how school districts verify student residency and how cyber charter schools handle enrollment notifications. It requires parents to submit a specific, limited form with proof of address, such as a lease, utility bill, or driver's license, by March 1 each year, while exempting homeless students from these requirements. Additionally, the law mandates that cyber charter schools notify a student's local district within 10 business days of enrollment and requires parents to report any changes in address promptly. These measures aim to clarify administrative procedures for attendance and ensure that all students, including those in online charter programs, are properly registered in their districts.
