AI Summary

This bill aims to address dropout prevention and recovery in Massachusetts. It proposes to amend the state's laws on mandatory school attendance by establishing regulations for minimum and maximum ages, including a process for exemptions for advanced students. Additionally, the bill calls for a 3-year pilot program that would provide competitive grants to school districts and community agencies to implement dropout prevention and recovery initiatives, such as alternative education programs, graduation coaches, outreach and recovery efforts, and support for expectant and parenting students. The bill also requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to monitor and evaluate the pilot program, and to provide annual and final reports to the state legislature.
