Introduced·6/4/26

Pennsylvania HB2602 amends the Public School Code to enhance attendance policies and child protection measures for cyber charter schools.

HB2602 mandates that cyber charter schools in Pennsylvania conduct weekly wellness checks to ensure students are seen and communicated with in real time. Schools must develop and submit attendance policies for both synchronous and asynchronous instruction to the Department of Education for approval. The bill requires schools to implement a child protection and support plan to address signs of child abuse, self-harm, and other urgent student wellness concerns.
