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 who reside on the United States Naval Submarine Base-New London, which is located in Groton.
The purpose of this bill is 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 bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of provisions that would facilitate this financial adjustment.
