H 2412 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to update postural screenings in schools

This bill modifies school health screening requirements by changing the grade levels where annual postural screenings must occur. It removes the requirement for screenings in grade 5 and specifies screenings must be conducted in grades 6, 7, 8, or 9 instead of the previous grades 5 through 9. The change directly affects students in those specific grades and school health programs implementing the screenings. This is a technical adjustment to the existing law, not a new policy.
