The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 47, seeks to amend section 10-262h of the general statutes to adjust the education cost-sharing grant specifically for the Town of Groton. This adjustment is intended to address the educational costs associated with children residing on the United States Naval Submarine Base-New London, which is located in Groton.
The bill aims to ensure that the Town of Groton receives adequate funding to support the educational needs of children linked to the military base, thereby recognizing the unique circumstances and costs incurred by the town due to the presence of the base. The proposed changes reflect a commitment to providing equitable educational resources for all students in the area.
