permitting excused absences for student participation in certain activities and mandating the state board of education to grant school reassignment requests for students demonstrating a manifest educational hardship

Summary

The bill lets K‑12 students in public or charter schools be excused from up to two days of school per 45‑day period to attend civic events or career‑technical education (CTE) activities, provided parents give notice and schools verify attendance. It also requires the state board of education to create rules that count such participation toward graduation requirements as alternative credit. The measure aims to encourage civic engagement and workforce‑related learning without penalizing attendance records.
