H.B. 377, P.N. 404 (ROEBUCK). This would amend the Public School Code, Act 14 of 1949, P.L. 30.
This would lower the compulsory school age in Philadelphia to age six from the current age of eight. An exception to this would be permitted for a child whose parent or legal guardian has informed the School Superintendent that the parent or guardian will be providing for the child’s education.
