CT SB00876

Local and regional boards of education must conduct exit interviews with each student who withdraws from school without graduating or receiving a diploma

Exit interviews must collect information on: student history of trauma, family involvement with DCF or other agencies for unaddressed needs, student's future plans after withdrawal, whether bullying contributed to academic decline and withdrawal, and whether the student can be placed in skills training for financial independence

School boards must aggregate the exit interview data into a report and submit it to the Department of Education for evaluation
