3 Bills Leave Ed Committee

Members of the Pennsylvania House Education Committee passed three measures aimed at increasing student safety and better allocating funding for special education, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

House Resolution 53 would authorize the formation of a select committee to investigate, review, and make recommendations regarding safety and security in public and nonpublic schools and institutions of higher education in Pennsylvania.

House Bill 555 would require all public schools to include the Megan’s Law website on any transportation-related communication distributed to students, parents and the public, as well as posting the website on schools’ homepages in an effort to offer parents and families information about safe bus and walking routes.

House Bill 2 would create a Special Education Funding Commission to develop a new special education funding formula that better reflects the actual special education populations in Pennsylvania school districts.

All of the measures are before the full House for consideration.
