Bill Summary
For legislation relative to school choice. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to establish a school choice program in the state. It sets a maximum tuition amount of $6,500 per student enrolling in a receiving district, with a sliding scale fee structure that takes into account the percentage of economically disadvantaged students in the sending district. The state treasurer is authorized to deduct the tuition amount from the sending district's total education aid, and deposit it into a School Choice Tuition Trust Fund. If the deductions exceed the total state aid, the commonwealth will appropriate the excess amount, or assess the district if it has exempted itself from the provisions of Chapter 70.
