An Act to prohibit age discrimination
This bill amends Massachusetts law to explicitly forbid public schools from discriminating against students based on their age. The change ensures that every student admitted to a public school has equal access to all advantages, privileges, and courses of study regardless of how old they are. By adding this specific language to existing statutes, the legislation aims to prevent schools from treating students differently or denying them educational opportunities solely because of their age.
