Bill > H662

This bill aims to amend Section 5 of Chapter 76 of the Massachusetts General Laws to explicitly prohibit age discrimination in public schools. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision that prevents any student from being discriminated against in accessing educational opportunities, advantages, and courses of study based on their age. By inserting this language into the existing law, the legislation seeks to ensure that all students, regardless of their age, have equal access to the full range of educational resources and experiences within public schools. This could be particularly relevant for students who may be older or younger than the typical grade-level cohort, such as those who have been held back, skipped grades, or are pursuing non-traditional educational paths, and aims to protect them from potential unfair treatment based on their age.
