Pennsylvania HB342 mandates mindfulness instruction in public and nonpublic schools.
Pennsylvania HB342 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require each school entity to adopt a policy for providing classroom instruction in mindfulness techniques to students in kindergarten through grade twelve. The bill defines mindfulness as being aware of one's body, mind, and feelings in the present moment. The Department of Education must develop and distribute a model policy and curriculum, which will be available to all school entities and nonpublic schools upon request. The mindfulness instruction is not intended to be a religious service or exercise.
