S 1327 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act requiring a parent or guardian who is exempt from property tax to reimburse a child’s school for tuition

This bill allows Massachusetts municipalities to collect tuition fees from parents or guardians whose homes are tax-exempt educational institutions. It authorizes local schools to recover these costs using the same methods currently available for collecting unpaid tuition from other families. The change directly affects residents living in properties like religious schools or other tax-exempt facilities who send their children to public schools in the district.
