An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in charter schools, further providing for definitions, for charter school requirements, for establishment of charter school, for causes for nonrenewal or termination, for powers and duties of department, for cyber charter school requirements and prohibitions and for establishment of cyber charter school; and, in the State Board of Education, further providing for powers and duties of the board.

Summary

The legislation adds a definition of artificial intelligence and then prohibits any charter or cyber‑charter school from using AI in place of qualified teachers to deliver instruction. It applies to new charter applications, renewals, and existing schools, giving the Department of Education and local school boards authority to reject or revoke charters that rely on AI. The goal is to ensure students receive direct instruction from professional educators.
