New School Attendance Law Tightens Working Certificates
A new state attendance law tightens requirements for working certificates for ages fourteen to sixteen, mandating eighth grade graduation or continued schooling until age sixteen. It also restricts who may issue certificates, with superintendents handling town duties and county superintendents overseeing others, and requires attendance officers to be high school graduates or pass State board exams. Mrs. Josephine Hall of Remington visited son James Hall last week.
