Bill Summary

Establish graduation requirements for educationally-disrupted youth

AI Summary

This bill establishes graduation requirements for educationally-disrupted youth in the state of Montana. It allows a high school student who has experienced an "educational disruption" (such as homelessness, involvement in the child welfare or juvenile justice system, or a medical/mental health crisis) and meets the state's minimum high school credit requirement to receive a diploma from their district, even if the district has a higher credit requirement. The bill also allows the district to distinguish the diploma in a reasonable manner from other diplomas issued. Additionally, the bill states that if the student is under 19 years of age, the district may continue to provide them with a reasonable curriculum designed to advance their postsecondary success, including courses for postsecondary credit and career training.
