Massachusetts S315 amends the definition of Recovery High Schools and outlines criteria for student enrollment.

Massachusetts S315 redefines Recovery High Schools as public high schools designed for students impacted by substance use, mental health, or trauma. These schools must provide a comprehensive academic and social/emotional curriculum and a structured recovery plan. The bill mandates that school districts transfer the state average foundation budget per pupil to these schools for eligible students. Eligibility criteria include being enrolled or residing in the district, being deemed clinically appropriate by a clinician, and meeting academic eligibility requirements.
