Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize Performance-Based Education Funding. Higher Education.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 73 of the General Laws by adding a new section, Section 12A, which would require that at least twenty-five percent of funds appropriated by the general court for the maintenance, operation, and support of each state university and community college be tied to performance criteria. These criteria, to be developed by the Secretary of Education, would include measures such as student retention, successful course completion (demonstrated by graduation, certification, or similar documentation), and academic achievement rates. This change aims to introduce a performance-based funding model for higher education institutions in Massachusetts.
