The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5178, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds to fund a culinary arts center at Robert E. Fitch High School in Groton. Specifically, the bill empowers the State Bond Commission to issue bonds not exceeding a total of seven hundred fifty thousand dollars. The proceeds from these bonds will be allocated to the Department of Education, which will provide a grant-in-aid to the town of Groton for the establishment of the culinary arts center.
The primary purpose of this legislation is to secure funding for the development of the culinary arts center, enhancing educational opportunities in the culinary field for students at Robert E. Fitch High School. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to facilitate the bond issuance and funding process.
