SB 858 Pennsylvania Senate · 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 military child advance enrollment.

SB 858 (Pennsylvania's Public School Code amendment) allows military-connected children to enroll in Pennsylvania schools before their family establishes residency. It requires military families to provide proof of intent to move (like a lease or home purchase contract) and to confirm residency within 45 days of their military transfer date. Schools must accept previously earned credits and grades for GPA calculations when military students transfer between districts. This directly affects military families relocating within Pennsylvania, ensuring smoother educational transitions during reassignments.
