Bill > S2209

This bill, titled "Corrective Amendment," proposes changes to Chapter 70 of the General Laws, which governs education funding. Primarily, it amends Section 2 of Chapter 70 by replacing existing language with updated definitions for various terms related to school funding calculations, such as "Administration allotment," "Classroom and specialist teachers allotment," and "Foundation budget." These definitions outline how funds are allocated based on student enrollment, special education needs, and other educational services, with adjustments for inflation. The bill also repeals Sections 5, 7, and 9 of Chapter 70, and makes minor edits to Section 6, removing the word "minimum" and the phrase "but not including equity aid," and also amends Section 10 to clarify how state aid is calculated for municipalities. These changes aim to refine the existing framework for distributing state aid to school districts, ensuring more accurate and up-to-date calculations for educational funding.
