H 4637 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act exempting Hancock Schools

This bill exempts the public schools in Hancock from a specific state law provision that typically allows students to choose schools outside their local district. While it removes this particular legal requirement for Hancock, the legislation explicitly permits the town's schools to continue participating in the existing school choice program. The act takes effect immediately upon passing and applies only to the public schools within Hancock.
