Bill > HB05747

This bill provides a specific exemption for the town of Cheshire from state-mandated standard space specifications when calculating school building project grants for North End Elementary School and Norton Elementary School. Normally, section 10-286 of the general statutes and related regulations by the Department of Administrative Services and State Board of Education require schools to adhere to specific space standards when determining state funding for construction projects. By granting this exemption, the bill allows Cheshire to proceed with its school building projects without being constrained by these standard space specification requirements, potentially giving the town more flexibility in designing and funding these school improvement projects. The exemption is narrowly tailored to these two specific school projects in Cheshire, suggesting there may be unique local circumstances or constraints that necessitate this special consideration.
