Massachusetts H439 amends charter school finance to ensure transparency and accountability.
Massachusetts H439 amends the funding formula for charter schools to ensure transparency and accountability. The bill mandates the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to calculate a foundation budget for students from each sending district attending a charter school. It excludes assumed tuition-out special education enrollment and adjusts for above foundation spending. The state treasurer must deduct the local share of the total tuition amount from the state school aid of the sending district.
