Bill > A211

Introduced Session

This bill permits excused absences for students enlisted or planning to enlist in the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National Guard. The bill requires a student enrolled in grade 12 who enlists, or plans to enlist, in the Armed Forces of the United States and who is absent from school to complete a military enlistment activity to receive a State-excused absence for that purpose. The absence is not to be included on a student's transcript, application, employment form, or any similar form requested. The absence is also not to be considered when determining if a student has a perfect attendance record for the school year. Under the bill, a military enlistment activity means any activity required by the Armed Forces of the United States to be eligible to enlist including, but not limited to, any testing, medical or physical evaluations, interviews, and fingerprinting.
