Pennsylvania HB1392 repeals third-party service provisions and allows pandemic-related waivers for school staffing needs.

HB1392 amends the Public School Code of 1949 by repealing provisions that restricted school employers from contracting with third parties for non-instructional services. It also allows school entities to request waivers from the Secretary of Education for certain provisions if the waiver is related to staffing needs or operational impacts due to the pandemic of 2020. The Secretary must respond to waiver requests within 30 days, and these determinations are not subject to appeal. The act takes effect in 60 days.
