PAC-TE enjoys a collaborative relationship with the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE). From time to time, PDE publishes documents that are useful for our members. This page is intended to be a resource, but we acknowledge that the authority with the legal answers to some of our questions is the PDE itself.
