H 485 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to promote fairness between traditional public schools and regional vocational schools

This bill aims to ensure that regional vocational school districts receive funding increases that do not exceed those granted to traditional public school districts. It achieves this by limiting the annual financial contribution a municipality can make to a vocational school district to the same percentage increase applied to that municipality's traditional public school budget. The law applies specifically to the relationship between local towns and their regional vocational school districts, preventing vocational schools from receiving a larger share of budget growth than their public school counterparts.
