An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in certification of teachers, further providing for State certificate fee reduction; and, in Keystone Telepresence Education Grant Program, further providing for Keystone Telepresence Education Grant Program.

Summary

The bill caps the cost of state teacher certification fees at $50 and requires those fees to be deposited into the Talent Recruitment Account. It also authorizes up to $300,000 each year from unused grant funds to support the Keystone Telepresence Education Grant Program, and moves $1,394,560.19 from that program’s restricted account into the same talent recruitment fund. The changes aim to lower certification costs for educators and boost funding for virtual learning initiatives.
