Pennsylvania Schools to Teach Cursive: A New Requirement

Starting April 12th, Pennsylvania schools must teach cursive handwriting, following a new law signed by Governor Josh Shapiro.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education is creating guidance for teachers, but details on what constitutes cursive are still unclear.
