AI Summary

This bill aims to promote equitable workforce development and education. It amends Chapter 74 of the General Laws to require vocational-technical education schools to hold a lottery if there are more available spaces than eligible applicants from the city or town where the school is located. It also requires these schools to maintain a waitlist and fill vacancies from the waitlist. Additionally, the bill mandates the Commissioner to collect and report data on the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic makeup of student enrollment, as well as the number of students with individualized education plans and those requiring English learner programs, in vocational-technical education programs. The bill also directs the Board to promulgate regulations for implementing and enforcing these provisions.
