Amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), entitled "An act relating to the public school system, including certain provisions applicable as well to private and parochial schools; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto," in terms and courses of study, providing for credit for employment at congregate care facility.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to allow students in grades 11 or 12 who are employed (paid or voluntary) at a congregate care facility to earn up to two elective credits towards graduation. The school entity or nonpublic school must develop an application process for students to apply for these credits, and the student must meet certain requirements, such as verifying the number of hours worked at the congregate care facility. Congregate care facilities are defined to include long-term care nursing facilities, personal care homes, and assisted living residences. The bill will take effect 60 days after enactment.
