MA H519

Requires vocational-technical schools to use a weighted lottery system for admissions when applicants exceed available spaces, with preferences for students of color, economically disadvantaged students, students with disabilities, and English language learners

Limits application requirements to only current school enrollment and contact information; admission offers made before grade promotion are contingent only upon promotion

Mandates schools maintain waitlists ordered by lottery results and submit them to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education by June 1 annually; vacancies must be filled from the waitlist in order

Requires the commissioner to collect and publicly report demographic data on applications, admissions, enrollment, and waitlists by November 1 each year, including data on students receiving special education and English language services

Directs the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to promulgate regulations for implementation and enforcement
