AI Summary
This bill modifies Section 14B of Chapter 71 of the Massachusetts General Laws to require that school district expenses be allocated proportionally among towns in the district based on the number of students attending from each town. Currently, the law does not specify a specific method for distributing school district expenses, and this amendment would ensure a more equitable funding approach where each town contributes to district expenses in direct relation to the number of students they send to the school district. By mandating an even allocation relative to student population, the bill aims to create a fairer system of financial responsibility for school district costs, potentially reducing financial disparities between towns within the same school district.
