Bill > H578

This bill establishes an education finance reform data advisory commission in Massachusetts. The commission will create a data reporting and collection system for the state's Chapter 70 education funding program, which tracks spending on English language learners, low-income students, and administrative costs, and analyzes how spending correlates to reducing achievement and opportunity gaps. The commission will include representatives from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Executive Office of Education, school committees, administration, business, vocational education, student and parent groups, and education finance experts. The commission will provide an annual report to state education and budget officials.
