An Act to update postural screenings in schools

This bill updates the Massachusetts law regarding postural screenings in public schools by changing the grade levels where these exams are required. Currently, students in grades five through nine must receive these screenings, but the legislation would shift the requirement to students in grades six through nine. The change directly affects school administrators and health professionals who conduct these assessments, ensuring that the screening process aligns with the updated grade structure. By amending Section 57 of Chapter 71 in the General Laws, the bill modifies the specific grades targeted for these health checks without altering the nature of the screenings themselves.
