AI Summary

This bill repeals and reorganizes several outdated statutes concerning public schools, focusing primarily on updating provisions related to dropout prevention and school meal programs. The bill amends the existing PASS (Promoting Academic Success and Sustainability) program, which provides financial awards to high schools that demonstrate improvement in dropout prevention. These awards can be used for various dropout prevention activities, such as graduation coaching, opportunity internships, counseling services, mentoring programs, and parent engagement activities. The bill removes some older references to comprehensive guidance programs and updates language around high school and beyond plans. Additionally, the legislation allows school districts to continue providing meal services in school facilities, with some minor technical updates to existing language. The bill also formally repeals 17 specific sections of existing education-related statutes that are considered outdated or no longer relevant, streamlining the state's education code and removing redundant or obsolete regulations.
