The Division of School Health would like to make you aware of several recent changes made to the School Code pertaining to student health initiatives. Act 117 of 2024 requires all school entities, including school districts, area career and technical schools, charter schools, regional charter schools, cyber charter schools, and intermediate units, and nonpublic schools to share Type 1 Diabetes educational materials with parents and guardians of students either in writing, electronically, or on the school entity or nonpublic school’s publicly accessible internet website. Type 1 Diabetes educational materials must be made available beginning with the 2025-2026 school year and can be found on the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s website at this link: Act 117 - Parental Education of Type 1 Diabetes | Department of Health | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
