SD 378 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to special education

This bill amends Massachusetts special education funding formulas by changing the foundation aid calculation from 4 to 3 in two specific sections of state law. The change directly affects how the state distributes financial resources to school districts for special education services. By adjusting these numerical values in the statutory text, the legislation modifies the method used to determine funding allocations. The bill does not add new programs or change eligibility requirements, but rather adjusts the mathematical basis for existing funding calculations.
