AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE

Summary

The bill requires children ages 6 to 18 to attend public day school and sets fines and possible jail time for repeated truancy, unless they are in an approved private school, home‑instruction program, post‑secondary program, or have a superintendent‑approved alternative learning plan. It also creates a process for waivers, appeals, and extended withdrawals to address COVID‑19 disruptions, while preserving teachers’ collective‑bargaining rights.
