AI Summary

This bill aims to establish the Learning Innovation for Tomorrow (LIFT) fund, which will finance the development and implementation of innovation in public education across Massachusetts. The bill specifies that the LIFT fund will be funded through various sources, including the state's gaming revenue, surplus funds, and private donations. The funds will be used to support the first-year recommendations of the Foundation Budget Review Commission, which was established to review and update the formula used to calculate the state's education funding. The bill also requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to establish and monitor measurable benchmarks for the LIFT fund's progress and impact, and to report annually on its spending and outcomes.
