HR 377 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution directing the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to conduct an effectiveness and results audit and issue a report on all existing incentives for public school district consolidation and sharing of services, and to make recommendations related to incentivizing the reorganization, consolidation and shared services of school districts of a specific enrollment size.

This resolution directs Pennsylvania's Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to audit all current incentives for public school district consolidation and shared services. The audit will examine why these incentives aren't being used (as no districts have voluntarily consolidated since 2009), review other states' approaches, and assess how to better incentivize consolidation for districts of specific enrollment sizes. The committee must issue a report with findings and recommendations to the General Assembly within one year. This process does not create new policies but aims to inform future decisions about school district reorganization.
