Updates exemptions to compulsory attendance to include children who have obtained a high school diploma, general equivalency diploma, or graduated from a home school program.

Changes the age threshold for employment exemptions from compulsory attendance, raising it from 14 years old to align with the new 18-year-old maximum attendance age.
