Education - Posthumous Diploma Awards - Established (Eric's Law)

Summary

The bill authorizes local public school systems to issue three types of posthumous diplomas—standard, honorary, and in‑memoriam—to students who died while enrolled in kindergarten through grade 12. Awards are only made after a written request from a parent, legal guardian, or next of kin and must meet specific residency, grade level, credit‑completion, and academic‑standing criteria. The diplomas are largely ceremonial and do not affect graduation statistics.
