An act relating to requiring community service as a high school graduation requirement

This bill would make community service a mandatory requirement for all high school students in Vermont to graduate. It directs the state Agency of Education to create and implement a program that integrates community service into every high school by the 2029-2030 school year. The legislation does not specify the exact amount of service required or the types of projects that would count, leaving those details to be determined by the state education agency. This change would directly affect all Vermont high school students and their schools, requiring them to participate in approved community service activities as part of their graduation criteria.
