Bill > H3894

This bill establishes the Municipal Education Fund, which will be administered by the Commissioner of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The fund will be used to provide additional funding for school districts considered minimum aid communities or currently a below effort increment community, support municipal K-12 school districts, and prioritize gateway city school districts, rural school districts, and school districts serving a large percentage of students with high needs. The fund will be credited with revenue collected pursuant to the state's Constitution, as well as funds from public and private sources. The bill also modifies the definitions of "Required local contribution" and "Target local contribution" in the state's school funding formula, and establishes a special legislative commission to examine the distribution of education funding in the Commonwealth.
