FAQ

Achieving a 70% funded reserve is considered a milestone for inium associations, indicating a reasonable level of financial preparedness. It signifies that the association has taken proactive steps to ensure the long-term sustainability of the community and mitigate the risk of financial instability.

On average, The Board should be setting aside 15% to 40% of their total assessments towards reserves, although for some simpler situations, a more minimal reserve fund ratio of 10% to 15% may be sufficient. Develop a funding plan that aligns with the calculated reserve fund requirements.

The new law imposes stricter limits on how long probation can be extended due to these violations, shifting the focus toward rehabilitation rather than punishment. Another critical aspect of Act 44 is the reduction of probation sentences for individuals who comply with their terms.

Pennsylvania law now permits a four-day school week. Legislation signed into law in December amended the Pennsylvania School Code. Districts now can choose between 180 school days and hourly instruction requirements: 900 for elementary students and 990 for secondary students.
