AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 70B of Massachusetts General Laws by establishing a new technology upgrade program through the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). The program will provide competitive grants to public school districts to support technology improvements across the state. Grants will be distributed based on the districts' demonstrated need and urgency, ensuring that schools can modernize their technological infrastructure. Importantly, the bill mandates that the MSBA maintain funding for existing capital programs at or above their fiscal year 2025 levels, which means the new technology upgrade program will not come at the expense of current educational infrastructure investments. By creating this program, the bill aims to help Massachusetts schools enhance their technological capabilities and provide students with more advanced learning resources.
