Bill > S416

This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, Section 91 by adding a new provision that allows recovery high schools to be treated as regional schools specifically for the purpose of transportation reimbursements. A recovery high school is a specialized educational setting designed to support students recovering from substance use disorders, providing an environment that supports both academic learning and addiction recovery. By classifying these schools as regional schools for transportation funding, the bill aims to help reduce financial barriers that might prevent students in recovery from accessing these specialized educational programs. The classification is subject to appropriation, meaning the actual implementation will depend on available government funding. This change could potentially make it easier and more affordable for students struggling with substance use disorders to attend schools that provide targeted support for their academic and personal recovery needs.
