HB1743 requires each school entity in Pennsylvania to develop and implement a comprehensive school counseling plan. This plan must ensure coordinated student services, providing comprehensive and developmental support. It must be reviewed annually and updated as needed. The plan should guide students in academic pursuits, career planning, and social and emotional learning, and be integrated with the school entity's student services plan. The Department of Education will monitor implementation and compliance starting from the 2025-2026 school year.
