An Act relative to establishment of a revolving fund for a school learning lab within a vocational-technical program operated by the Town of Westborough Public Schools.

 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any general or special laws to the contrary, and notwithstanding in particular, but not limited to, the provisions of Section 53 of Chapter 44, any income received from the purchase and sale of products by a vocational-technical program conducted and operated by the Town of Westborough Public Schools, or gifts, grant funds, or donations in relation to the operation of the program shall be deposited in a special fund by the school committee in any banking institution in the commonwealth. Expenditures may be made from said fund by the school committee for the purposes of such program area without further appropriation, provided, however, that said special funds shall not be used to pay the salary of any school employee, that involves operation of, or instruction in, the program.

SECTION 2. The foregoing provisions of section one of this statute shall be limited to the conduct and operation of a program which constitutes an in-district program within the meaning of regulations promulgated  by the board of education pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 69 and Chapter 71B; which serves the needs of students who are at least eighteen years of age and who are no more than twenty-two years of age; and which has both an educational and a vocational focus.
