Official summary
Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.
Public education; concurrent enrollment; high school graduation. Makes several changes relating to graduation from a public high school in the Commonwealth, including (i) eliminating the requirement for a student to complete one virtual course in order to graduate from high school and (ii) specifying that various career and technical education credentials earned for the purpose of satisfying high school graduation requirements are required to be high-demand career and technical education credentials. The bill also defines and thereby distinguishes the concepts of dual enrollment and concurrent enrollment in the context of high school students' participation in college-level coursework and requires the agreements for postsecondary attainment between school boards and comprehensive community colleges and certain other educational institutions to specify the credit available for dual enrollment and concurrent enrollment courses. The provisions of the bill amending the requirements for such agreements and for certain parental notification plans have a delayed effective date of August 1, 2026.
