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, education and training.

Summary

The bill adds a new requirement to Pennsylvania’s Public School Code that any school entity must complete an initial evaluation to determine if a child has a disability and give the results to the parents within 60 consecutive school days after consent is received. It applies to districts, intermediate units, approved private schools, state programs and other service providers, but not to charter or cyber‑charter schools. The change aims to speed up identification of special‑education needs.
