An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, providing for school facilities; establishing the School Facilities Office and the Public School Facility Advisory Committee; and repealing provisions relating to building condition assessments.
This bill creates a new School Facilities Office within the Pennsylvania Department of Education to help school districts assess infrastructure needs and secure funding for improvements. It also establishes a Public School Facility Advisory Committee made up of representatives from government, industry, and education groups to guide facility planning and policy. Under the law, all public schools must submit detailed inventory data about their buildings by April 2025, and this information will be made available online for public viewing. Additionally, the legislation repeals previous rules regarding building condition assessments to allow for a new, standardized statewide evaluation process.
