Pennsylvania HB2176 mandates social media literacy education in public and nonpublic schools.

Pennsylvania HB2176 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to include social media literacy education in the curriculum. The bill requires the State Board of Education to review and revise existing health, safety, and physical education standards to incorporate social media literacy.

The curriculum will cover the effects of social media on students, academic impacts, safe usage, and personal security. This act does not supersede any collective bargaining agreements.
