Bill Summary

Relative to the net school spending cap. Education.

AI Summary

This bill clarifies the net school spending cap for school districts in Massachusetts. It states that if a district is no longer in the lowest 10% of districts, the net school spending cap shall be 9%, unless the district's net school spending was above 9% in the year prior to moving out of the lowest 10%, in which case the cap shall remain at the actual spending level plus previously approved enrollment. The bill also prohibits the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education from approving additional charter school seats for districts that moved out of the lowest 10% with a net school spending cap above 9%, and it requires the Department to cover any district costs related to previously approved seats that violate this provision. Additionally, the bill prohibits the state from deducting charter school tuition amounts from districts' state school aid in these cases.
