HB 5128 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT ALLOWING ALL MINOR PARENTS TO REQUEST ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES.

This bill allows any minor parent under 17 (regardless of gender) to request permission from their local school board to attend adult education classes. It changes existing law, which previously only permitted mothers under 17 to make such requests, by expanding eligibility to all minor parents. The key provision requires school boards to consider these requests, enabling young parents to access educational opportunities while balancing their parental responsibilities.
