An Act to improve and enhance the Advisory Board to the Massachusetts School Building Authority
This bill amends the composition of the Advisory Board to the Massachusetts School Building Authority by adding two new organizations to its membership. Specifically, it requires the inclusion of the Massachusetts Association of Vocational Administrators, Inc., and the Alliance for Vocational Technical Education Coalition alongside the existing Massachusetts Association of School Committees, Inc. The change aims to broaden the board's representation to include voices from vocational and technical education sectors. By updating the list of required members in state law, the legislation ensures these groups have a formal role in advising on school building projects.
