Pennsylvania HB248 requires parental permission for student participation in school clubs and organizations.
Pennsylvania HB248 amends the Public School Code to mandate that school boards cannot allow students to join clubs or organizations without written parental permission. Parents can withdraw permission at any time, and the withdrawal takes effect immediately unless otherwise specified. The school must provide detailed information about the club or organization, including its purpose, faculty advisor, and planned activities. Schools must also inform parents about their right to attend their child's club or organization meetings unless there is documented good cause for exclusion.
