Pennsylvania HB370 amends school term and session dates, requiring schools to start no earlier than the day after Labor Day.

Pennsylvania HB370 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to set the start date for school terms no earlier than the day after Labor Day. The bill allows exceptions for major construction, renovation, or natural disasters, subject to approval by the Secretary of Education. It also maintains existing contractual agreements between school districts and their employees that conflict with the new provisions. The act takes effect 60 days after enactment.
