Bill Summary
Resolve providing for a study of compulsory school attendance
AI Summary
This bill directs the board of elementary and secondary education to conduct a study on making school attendance compulsory for individuals aged five to eighteen in Massachusetts, a change from the current requirements. The study will examine how this extended compulsory attendance period might affect students' readiness for elementary school and their likelihood of completing high school, drawing on experiences from other states, and will also analyze the financial consequences for both the state and local school districts. The board is required to report its findings and any recommendations to the state legislature by December 31, 2017.
