Summary:
This bill would require enrollment in school for certain persons under 18 who are being punished for crimes and who don't have a high school diploma or GED. The compulsory attendance age in North Carolina is 16, so this bill is simply a back door approach to raising it to 18 under certain circumstances.

03/26/2003Passed by committee
04/01/2003Passed by full House

Action Requested:
None at this time

HSLDA's Position:
This bill should be opposed.
