Introduced Text

Massachusetts H5502 amends school choice regulations to allow certain districts to exempt elementary students from tuition agreements.

Massachusetts H5502 amends Section 12B of chapter 76 of the General Laws to allow municipal school districts operating under a tuition agreement for middle and high school education to exempt incoming elementary school choice students from such agreements. This change provides flexibility for districts to manage their school choice programs while ensuring elementary students are not subject to the same tuition agreements as older students.
