AI Summary

This bill establishes an early college education program in Massachusetts to increase postsecondary completion rates and participation in career pathways. The program allows public secondary schools to partner with public and private institutions of higher education to be designated as Massachusetts Early College Schools. These schools must provide programs open to all enrolled students on a space-available basis, offer a minimum of 12 transferable college credits, and prioritize programs that lead to an associate's degree or industry credential. The program is overseen by an advisory committee and participating schools must report annually on student outcomes. The bill also provides additional funding for each participating student, subject to appropriation.
