H 210 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to promote equity in school attendance requirements

HD 2738 repeals Section 121 of Chapter 5 of the 1995 laws (as amended in 2014), which governed school attendance requirements. This removes an existing provision that had been part of state law since 1995, with updates in 2014. The bill's stated purpose is to promote equity in school attendance policies by eliminating this specific rule. The change directly affects school districts and students by removing a longstanding attendance requirement from state law.
