Sec. 10-288a. Replacement or relocation of secondary school associated with
center. When the secondary school with which an approved agricultural science and
technology education center has been associated is to be replaced or relocated within a
town or regional school district, the Commissioner of Education may require the relocation of the equipment and program in a building approximately equal to that serving as
a center for agricultural science and technology education. Such new facilities shall be
included in or adjacent to the high school which is to serve the needs of the agricultural
science and technology education pupils and shall conform to requirements of the Commissioner of Education with respect to location, design and construction. Said town or
regional school district may receive a grant for the construction of such replaced or
relocated agricultural science and technology education center as provided in subsection
(e) of section 10-286 for a secondary regional school district or subsection (f) of section
10-286, whichever may be appropriate. Upon final approval by the Commissioner of
Education of the replacement or relocation of such agricultural science and technology
education center the town or regional school district may use the facilities which had
previously served as such center for such purposes as it determines advisable.
