Bill Summary

Relative to encouraging and supporting high school graduation. Education.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 1B of Chapter 69 of the General Laws in Massachusetts to require all children under the age of 18 to attend school if they have not yet graduated from high school. The current law already requires school attendance, and this bill would add the additional requirement that attendance continue until high school graduation is achieved, even for those under 18 years old.
