Bill Summary

An Act requiring boards of directors of school districts, governing boards of charter schools, and authorities in charge of accredited nonpublic schools to adopt policies related to exempting student absences for 4-H club or FFA activities.

AI Summary

This bill requires the boards of directors of public school districts, the governing bodies of charter schools, and the authorities in charge of accredited nonpublic schools to create policies that allow students to have excused absences for participating in activities or projects sponsored by a 4-H club or the Future Farmers of America (FFA), which is an organization for students interested in agriculture. These schools will also have to let students make up any schoolwork they missed due to these absences, treating these absences similarly to how school districts handle other excused absences.
