Act 66 Information on Student Retention

The Pennsylvania General Assembly passed Act 66 legislation on June 30, 2021 that will allow parents and students new options concerning retention for the upcoming 2021-2022 school term.

Parents of students, and students themselves if they are 18 or older, can elect retention during the 2021-2022 school term returning the student to the grade level they were in during the 2020-2021 school term.  This includes students with disabilities who attained age 21 during the 2020-2021 school term or who will attain age 21 during this summer.
