PA HB666

Pennsylvania Department of Education must develop and distribute model guidelines for addressing learning loss by July 1, 2026, emphasizing in-person instruction over remote learning

Guidelines must include options for tutoring, extended instructional days, additional instructional days, and other remedial measures

Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, schools experiencing a "learning loss triggering event" must submit remediation plans to the department with enhanced instruction equal to the number of disrupted days

Learning loss triggering events are defined as disruptions requiring school closure or remote instruction for 5 or more days, including pandemics, natural disasters, or employee strikes

Applies to school districts, intermediate units, charter schools, regional charter schools, and area career and technical schools
