Bill Summary

For legislation to promote alternative dispute resolution for students. Education.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing Massachusetts General Laws, specifically Section 37O of Chapter 71, to require school boards to establish standards for incorporating curriculum at all grade levels that teaches students methods for resolving interpersonal disputes in productive and effective ways, while also discouraging the use of violence or abuse in dispute resolution. This initiative aims to promote alternative dispute resolution, or ADR, which refers to methods of settling disagreements outside of traditional legal proceedings, by equipping students with these valuable life skills from an early age.
