An Act to expand the use of career and academic plans

This bill requires all public high school districts to ensure students create personalized academic and career plans ("MyCAP") starting in 9th grade, with teacher support and an approved online platform. These plans must outline coursework, experiences, and pathways to post-secondary education or careers, and allow students to update them throughout high school. Districts must annually report progress to the education department, which will provide compliance guidance aligned with the MyCAP system. The requirement takes effect September 1, 2028, directly affecting high school students and school districts in Massachusetts.
