Summary

The bill lets continuation high schools and continuation classes offer workforce training programs on one or two weekdays, provided students still attend at least 15 hours of regular classes each week. Districts must track attendance and participation, and the programs must be supervised by certified staff and partnered with colleges or industry groups to give students academic credit or industry certificates. The goal is to give at‑risk youth job skills and pathways to living‑wage employment.
