H 449 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act clarifying the rights of employees in education collaboratives

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to clarify that specific employee protections apply to workers within education collaboratives. It explicitly extends the rights and benefits outlined in sections 41, 42, 42D, and 43 of Chapter 71 to all employee categories covered by those sections who work in these collaborative school structures. By referencing existing statutes, the legislation ensures that staff in education collaboratives receive the same legal safeguards as employees in traditional school districts.
