H 540 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to special education funding

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to adjust the funding calculation for special education services. Specifically, it changes a numerical factor used in the state's formula from 4 to 3, which directly impacts how much money districts receive for these programs. By altering this specific number in the existing statute, the legislation modifies the financial support provided to local schools serving students with disabilities. The change affects the state's budget allocation process but does not alter the eligibility criteria or the types of services available to students.
