An Act to create a facilities loan program for private special education schools

This bill directs the Massachusetts School Building Authority to establish a loan program specifically for private special education schools approved under state law. The program would offer no-interest or low-interest loans to help these schools fund construction projects and facility upgrades. By utilizing existing funds from the School Modernization and Reconstruction Trust Fund, the legislation aims to improve infrastructure for students with special needs without creating new revenue sources.
