An act relating to school attendance requirements

This bill would define the number of absences that count as chronic absenteeism and raise the compulsory school attendance age from 16 to 18 years in Vermont. It directly affects students aged 16-17 and Vermont school districts, requiring them to enforce attendance until age 18. The key provisions are establishing a clear threshold for chronic absenteeism (e.g., a specific number of missed days) and extending mandatory attendance. This would amend current law to update school attendance requirements for older students.
