AI Summary

This bill calls for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to conduct a comprehensive study of vocational education programs in the Commonwealth. The study will evaluate whether students have reasonable access to high-quality, state-approved vocational programs, including access to transportation and adequate equipment, as well as the oversight and accountability measures in place. If the department finds that access or oversight is inadequate, it will consult with the Massachusetts School Building Authority and submit a report to the legislature detailing the areas of concern and the estimated cost of establishing new vocational programs to meet the unmet demand.
