AI Summary
This bill makes technical, editorial changes to existing Pennsylvania law, specifically the Public School Code of 1949, by replacing the term "approved private school" with "approved special education school" throughout various sections. This change is intended to update the terminology to accurately reflect the nature of these institutions, which provide specialized educational services for children with disabilities. The bill clarifies that references to "approved private schools" in statutes and regulations will now be understood as "approved special education schools," and any existing appropriations for "approved private schools" will be considered for "approved special education schools," with existing approved private schools automatically being recognized as approved special education schools upon the bill's effective date.
