AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 1B of chapter 69 of the General Laws, which deals with education, by adding a provision that requires all children under the age of 18 to attend school unless they have already graduated. This change effectively raises the compulsory school attendance age to 18, meaning students must continue their education until they receive their diploma or reach that age.
