An Act relative to public preschool facilities
HD 824 amends the definition of "Capital construction project" in Chapter 70B to explicitly include public preschool facilities. This change directly affects public preschool programs defined under Section 1A of Chapter 15D by making them eligible for the same construction, renovation, and equipment funding as public schoolhouses. The key provision expands existing state funding mechanisms to cover preschool facilities, allowing cities and towns to use capital project funds for building or renovating dedicated preschool spaces. This policy shift removes a previous barrier to funding for preschool infrastructure within the public school system.
