AN ACT CONCERNING THE OBSERVANCE OF THREE KINGS DAY IN CONNECTICUT PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
HB 5106 would allow Connecticut public school students in grades K-12 to miss school for Three Kings Day without it counting as an unexcused absence. The bill requires the State Board of Education to update school absence definitions to specifically include Three Kings Day as an excused absence. This change directly affects students, families, and schools by formally recognizing the cultural and religious observance. The bill does not alter school schedules or funding, only updating absence policy to align with the holiday's significance.
