Joint letter of concern regarding HB 297

House Education Committee Members,

On behalf of the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA), Pennsylvania Association of Career and Technical Administrators (PACTA), Pennsylvania Association of Intermediate Units (PAIU), Pennsylvania Principals Association, and Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators (PASA), thank you for your interest in ensuring every public school student is more aware of the educational opportunities available to them through their public career and technology center. This is a concept that all of our organizations support and would like to help you achieve.

However, as currently written, House Bill 297 (P.N. 270) would also extend to employers, which presents substantial difficulties for school leaders in implementing the provisions of the bill.
