The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5075, aims to provide the town of Windham with a reimbursement rate of ninety-five percent for its renovation project at Windham High School, designated as Project Number 163-0079 RNV. This bill specifically overrides the existing provisions of section 10-285a of the general statutes, as well as any related regulations set by the State Board of Education or the Department of Administrative Services, which typically dictate the reimbursement percentages for local boards of education.
In summary, the bill seeks to facilitate financial support for Windham's school building project by allowing a significantly higher reimbursement rate than what is usually permitted under current law. This legislative change is intended to assist the town in funding necessary renovations to its high school.
