relative to reallocation or repurposing of career and technical education classroom space by local school districts.

HB 484 allows New Hampshire school districts to reassign space in career and technical education (CTE) centers that has been used exclusively for CTE purposes for at least 20 years, without cost to the district. The bill specifies that construction or renovation of CTE centers becomes the district’s responsibility after completion, with site work (like utility relocation) eligible for state grants. Districts cannot receive separate school building aid grants for the same project. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and directly affects local school districts managing CTE facilities.
