AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to conduct a study to evaluate the availability of high-quality, chapter 74-approved vocational education programs across the Commonwealth. The study will examine whether students in all municipalities and school districts have reasonable access to vocational programs, adequate transportation to access these programs, and whether the programs have access to acceptable equipment and adequate oversight and accountability measures. The bill also directs the department, in consultation with the Massachusetts School Building Authority, to submit a report to the legislature if it determines that access to or oversight of vocational education is inadequate, including an estimate of the cost to establish new vocational programs to meet the unmet demand.
