AI Summary

This bill aims to improve dropout prevention and re-engagement in Massachusetts. It amends existing laws to require school attendance for all children under 18 who have not graduated from high school, implement an early warning indicator system to identify and track at-risk students, provide resources for school districts to hire "success coaches" to support these at-risk students, and establish an employer-sponsored paid leave program for employees to participate in their children's academic activities. The bill also repeals a previous law and sets effective dates for the various provisions.
