Senate Bill No. 1287 mandates the Department of Education to conduct a study on schools within the state and submit a report of the findings to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by May 20, 2025. The bill introduces new legal language that establishes this requirement as a new section in the law, specifically stating that the study must be completed and reported in accordance with section 11-4a of the general statutes.

The bill is expected to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as it is anticipated that the Department of Education can fulfill the study's requirements using existing resources. The Education Committee has reported the bill favorably, with a vote of 30 in favor and 10 against.
