Policies and Procedures
The Department of Education routinely drafts and updates policies and procedures to offer guidance to school leaders, educators, parents and students to help create a high-quality learning experience from early childhood through adulthood. These policies and procedures are intended to improve the efficiency and cooperation among state, local and federal entities as we work to build and maintain Pennsylvania's many education resources.
The School Finance section of the PA Department of Education's website is the product of a collaborative effort between the Office of the Budget's Comptroller Operations and the Department of Education, who together manage a wide variety of tasks.
