HB 2333 -- High School Dropout Prevention

Sponsor:  Holsman

Beginning in school year 2011-2012, this bill requires a student
who is older than the district's compulsory school age and who
wants to drop out of high school to attend a dropout prevention
seminar.  School districts must offer the seminars based on the
requirements of the Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education.  Seminars must be at least four hours in duration, may
include talks by specified persons such as employers and former
dropouts, and must be held outside regular school hours.
Districts may charge an enrollment fee of up to $45, which will
be refunded if the student subsequently graduates from the school
at which he or she attends the seminar.

The provisions of the bill expire six years from the effective
date.
