Current information on the infrastructure of our public and charter schools is not available. Act 59 of 2013 required the Pennsylvania Department of Education to conduct a statewide analysis of school facilities and future capital needs. The information collected will be publicly available and included in a preliminary report due to be submitted to the General Assembly in 2014. The Commonwealth has had a moratorium on approving new school construction projects since 2011. Progress on addressing the findings of the pending report through streamlining of the PlanCon process and providing adequate, predictable, and sustainable state funding for the repair, renovation and construction of school buildings is critical for school districts and charter schools to address their facility needs.
