SB 250 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act providing for display of the Preamble of the Constitution of Pennsylvania in each school building.

SB 250 requires all Pennsylvania school entities - including public school districts, charter schools, cyber charters, and career technical schools - to display the Preamble of the Pennsylvania Constitution at the entrance of every school building. This applies to all schools in the state, with displays permitted as mounted plaques or student-created artwork from school contests. The bill mandates this display within 90 days of enactment and defines "school entity" to cover all major educational institutions. It does not alter existing curriculum or student requirements, focusing solely on physical display of the constitutional preamble. The bill is currently referred to the Education committee for further review.
