HB 338 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 pupils and attendance, further providing for attendance policy at charter, regional charter and cyber charter schools.

HB 338 amends Pennsylvania's Public School Code to update attendance reporting requirements for charter, regional charter, and cyber charter schools. It requires all such schools to report unexcused absences annually to the state education department via the Pennsylvania Information Management System (PIMS). Additionally, cyber charter schools must report each student's weekly attendance directly to their district of residence starting in the 2024-2025 school year. These changes apply specifically to charter school attendance tracking, not to traditional public schools.
