An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in the State System of Higher Education, providing for free tuition for school board members.
HB 773 (Pennsylvania House Bill 773, 2025) provides free tuition for school board members at Pennsylvania's state-funded higher education institutions. It directly affects school board members serving on public school districts within Pennsylvania, allowing them to enroll in approved courses related to their board duties at no tuition cost. The bill requires school boards to identify and maintain a list of eligible courses every three years, mandates annual reporting by institutions on enrollment, and requires the state legislature to appropriate funds by June 30 each year to reimburse schools for waived tuition. This policy change creates a state-funded reimbursement system for tuition costs, effective June 1, 2026.
