Bill > HB05127

This bill requires the Connecticut State Board of Education to create and operate a statewide recovery school specifically designed for high school students in grades 9-12 who are dealing with substance use disorder or co-occurring disorders. A recovery school is a specialized educational setting that provides both academic instruction and support for students who are in recovery from addiction, with the goal of helping these students continue their education in an environment that supports their ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. By establishing this dedicated school, the bill aims to ensure that students struggling with substance use have access to both educational opportunities and necessary treatment services, recognizing that traditional school environments might not always be conducive to their unique needs and ongoing recovery process.
