Bill Summary
Relative to mental health sick days for public school students. Education.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 1 of Chapter 76 of the General Laws to provide that necessary absences for public school students include those for the mental or behavioral health of the student, in addition to the existing provisions that allow for necessary absences of up to 7 days per 15 school days. This change ensures that public school students in Massachusetts can take sick days for mental health reasons, not just physical illnesses, without being penalized.
