The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) has provided notice to school entities that the deadline for FID applications for 2025-26 SY is June 1, after which PDE cannot grant extensions.
School entities cannot use an FID without an accepted application. A list of accepted applicants with effective and termination dates can be found on the Flexible Instructional Day Program webpage.
If you participate in this program, the table below may help you decide whether to reapply:
| Public School Entities | Effective Date | Termination Date | Do I need to reapply during the 25-26 SY FID application window to retain the program? |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABC School District | 7/1/22 | 6/30/25 | Yes — after 6/30/25, you do not have the program. You would lose the program if you do not reapply by 6/1/25 and have your application accepted. |
| DEF CTC | 7/1/23 | 6/30/26 | No — your application is still active until next year, so there is no need to reapply at this time. |
| GHC CS | 7/1/24 | 6/30/27 | No — your application is still active for two more years, so there is no need to reapply at this time. |
If you do not participate in this program, you still have time to complete the application, but it must be submitted by June 1. Any questions may be directed to [email protected].
