Request the Board of Education and Department of Education to review and evaluate compliance with and effectiveness of the Reinvesting Education Act of 2004 (Act 51)

Act 51 was intended to decentralize decision-making at the Department of Education and empower school-level administrators and staff while encouraging community involvement and improving professional development and technology resources

Committee determined that over seven years had passed since Act 51's enactment, providing sufficient time to assess whether the law achieved the state's educational goals

Committee on Ways and Means recommends adoption of the resolution
