This bill proposes several changes to the foundation budget calculations in Massachusetts' Chapter 70 education funding formula. Specifically, it redefines the "assumed in-school special education enrollment" and "foundation benefits" components, and amends the definitions of "foundation special education tuition" and "retired employee health insurance rate." The bill also requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop an implementation plan by December 31, 2018 to inform the fiscal year 2020 budget on recommendations related to converting the English learner increase from a base rate to an increment and increasing the low-income increment component of the foundation budget calculation.
