An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in charter schools, further providing for funding for charter schools, for provisions applicable to charter schools and for applicability of other provisions of this act and of other acts and regulations.

This Pennsylvania bill updates how charter schools receive funding for special education students and clarifies which existing laws apply to them. For the 2023-2024 school year and beyond, the law sets specific multipliers based on the cost of a student's education to determine how much money charter schools get for special education needs, while also requiring schools to document these costs and return any overpayments to local school districts. Additionally, the bill explicitly lists numerous state laws that charter schools and cyber charter schools must follow, covering areas such as student rights, drug and alcohol programs, and anti-hazing rules. These changes take effect 60 days after the bill is passed.
