The bill prohibits the integration of culturally relevant and sustaining education into certain educational programs and abrogates existing regulations related to this type of education.

  • Section 1529

    Culturally Relevant and Sustaining Education Prohibited.--(a) Culturally relevant and sustaining education may not be integrated into education preparation, induction and continuing professional development programs.

    This adds a new section that explicitly prohibits culturally relevant and sustaining education from being included in key educational programs.

  • 22 Pa. Code §§ 49.1, 49.13, 49.14, 49.16, 49.17

    The regulations at 22 Pa. Code §§ 49.1 (relating to definitions), 49.13 (relating to policies), 49.14 (relating to approval of institutions and alternative program providers), 49.16 (relating to approval of induction plans) and 49.17 (relating to continuing professional education) are abrogated insofar as they relate to culturally relevant and sustaining education.

    This removes existing regulations that pertain to culturally relevant and sustaining education from the Pennsylvania Code.
