Bill > HB1910

This bill establishes the School Supplies for Educators Grant Program, which will provide funds to teachers and specialized instructional support personnel (such as school counselors, nurses, psychologists, and social workers) for online purchases of school supplies and necessary materials. The Pennsylvania Department of Education will be responsible for creating an online e-commerce platform that allocates up to $500 per user account annually, and will identify authorized software services providers to manage the platform. The platform will process fund allocations, include fiscal management and reporting tools, and ensure purchases are made only from approved e-commerce vendors. School entities must certify the eligibility of teachers and support personnel who request a user account, and the program can be funded through state appropriations and other sources. The grant program aims to help educators obtain supplies and materials they need for school operations by providing a structured, online purchasing mechanism, with the program set to take effect 60 days after its enactment.
