An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, requiring certain school entities to adopt policies and procedures relating to access to school property by individuals or certain enforcement officials; and providing for training, reporting to governing bodies of school entities and for department guidelines.

Summary

The bill adds a new article to the Public School Code requiring every school district, charter, intermediate unit, career‑technical school and similar entity to adopt policies that ensure students, parents, guardians and school staff can enter school property regardless of immigration status. Boards must adopt the policies by public resolution, publish them in all languages spoken at home by students, and review them each year. It also directs schools to designate staff to handle any immigration or law‑enforcement requests for entry, document those interactions, and post signage indicating public and non‑public areas.
