Bill > S311

This bill aims to clarify the net school spending cap for school districts in Massachusetts. It provides that if a district is no longer in the lowest 10% of districts, its net school spending cap will be 9% unless its actual spending was above 9% in the prior year, in which case the cap will remain at the higher level. The bill also prohibits the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education from approving additional charter school seats for districts that have moved out of the lowest 10% if their net school spending cap was above 9% at the time. Additionally, the bill requires the Department to cover any district costs related to previously approved charter school seats that were permitted despite the district's higher net school spending cap.
