Pennsylvania SB295 reduces teacher certification fees to $50 and directs collected fees to the Talent Recruitment Account.

Pennsylvania SB295 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to limit the fee for teacher certification to $50. The bill also allows the Department of Education to collect reasonable fees for reviewing certificate eligibility, with a cap of $50. All fees collected under this provision must be deposited into the Talent Recruitment Account. This change aims to support teacher recruitment efforts by reallocating certification fees.
