Member Districts

PSSC would like to thank all of our members for their input, feedback and continued support of the council!

The Pennsylvania School Study Council offers a wide range of benefits for members during the school year. In addition to many of the benefits we have offered in the past, we are also committed to deepening our study council research role by becoming a more active partner with the Penn State College of Education for the formation and implementation of relevant research projects. This partnership will allow for a meaningful research agenda and customized professional development activities that address the needs of our members. We look forward to your participation in another exciting year!
