AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Town of Boxford to create a special reserve fund to cover unexpected and extraordinary expenses related to special education, specifically for out-of-district tuitions and transportation. The School Committee can move money from the school department's budget into this fund without needing a separate appropriation each year, and the Board of Selectmen can also contribute funds from the town's general budget. These contributions are in addition to any funds already approved by Town Meeting for this reserve. The total amount in this reserve fund cannot exceed 2% of the town's net school spending from the previous fiscal year, as defined by Chapter 70 of the General Laws, which is a state law governing school funding.
