Pennsylvania SB77 allows school districts to excuse students from attending school for up to two days per year without an excuse.

Pennsylvania SB77 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to allow school districts to excuse students from attending school for up to two days each school year without requiring a formal excuse. This bill adds a new subsection to the existing law on excuses from attending school, providing flexibility for school districts in managing student attendance. The change takes effect 60 days after the bill's enactment.
