Introduced Text

Pennsylvania SB858 allows military children to enroll early in a school district if their parent is transferring due to military orders.

Pennsylvania SB858 amends the Public School Code to facilitate early enrollment for children of active-duty military personnel. If a parent or legal guardian is an active duty member of the armed forces and has received orders to transfer within the state, their child can enroll in a school district before establishing residency. The school district must accept the child's grade point average from their previous school. The parent must provide proof of the move, such as a signed contract, lease agreement, or a statement of intent.
