AN ACT CONCERNING THE COLLECTION OF INFORMATION OF STUDENTS WHO WITHDRAW FROM SCHOOL WITHOUT GRADUATING.

SB 876 requires schools to conduct exit interviews with students who withdraw without graduating. It mandates collecting specific information about each student, including their trauma history, family interactions with child welfare agencies, future plans, bullying experiences affecting academics, and potential for skills training. Schools must then compile this data into a report submitted to the state Department of Education for evaluation. The bill directly affects students leaving school early and aims to inform state-level service improvements based on collected withdrawal data.
