AI Summary

This bill establishes a fund to provide additional cost reimbursement from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to school districts that have experienced at least a 20-student increase in the number of students classified as English learners over the prior fiscal year. The reimbursement amount would be equal to the difference between the number of English learners on October 1 of the prior fiscal year and the current fiscal year, and would be provided at the same per-student rate as the reimbursement under Chapter 70 of the state's education funding formula. The reimbursements would be kept in a separate fund by the state treasurer and disbursed to the eligible school districts.
