An Act furthering enrollment preferences for high need students
House: Bill reported favorably by committee and referred to the committee on House Ways and Means
Summary
The bill allows Commonwealth charter schools to voluntarily prioritize enrollment for high‑need students, such as low‑income families, English learners, students with disabilities, homeless youth, and those with emergency resettlement status. Schools may admit these students at any point during the school year, whether through the lottery or from the waitlist. The state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education must issue rules defining the eligible groups and the enrollment process.
