Senate Bill No. 1287 mandates the Department of Education to conduct a study on schools within the state and requires the department to submit a report of the study's findings to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by May 20, 2025. The bill introduces new legal language stating that this study is to be conducted and reported in accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a of the general statutes.

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