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 exceptional children and education and training.

HB 976 amends Pennsylvania's Public School Code to update how school districts report spending on students with disabilities or exceptionalities. School districts must annually report the number of students in five spending categories (e.g., under $5,000, $5,000-$25,000, $25,000-$50,000, $50,000-$75,000, and over $75,000) for the prior school year. The Department of Education must publish this data publicly in a sortable electronic format by February 1 each year, starting in 2025. This bill directly affects all Pennsylvania public school districts by requiring standardized expenditure reporting and public transparency.
