For legislation to establish additional funding for students. Education.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 70 of the General Laws by adding a new section that would increase the foundation budget for each city and town by $500 for every student identified as gifted and talented, provided they receive specific support from the school district and are included in the October 1 enrollment reports. These additional funds are intended to be used by school districts to hire a Coordinator of Gifted and Talented Education, who must hold a certification in gifted education from a university with relevant instructional programs. The foundation budget refers to the minimum amount of funding that the state guarantees for each student's education.
