An Act relative to MSBA school funding

This bill directs the School Building Advisory Board to conduct a study on how Massachusetts funds school facilities, with a specific focus on technical, vocational, and agricultural schools. The legislation requires the board to examine whether a new funding formula is needed to address the higher costs associated with building and maintaining these specialized facilities compared to primary and secondary schools. By January 1, 2025, the board must submit a report containing its findings and recommendations to the state legislature. This action affects the School Building Advisory Board and the legislative committees responsible for education policy, ensuring their review of current funding mechanisms for all school types.
