Funding

How Massachusetts funds schools

Massachusetts funds schools through Chapter 70: the state sets each district’s foundation budget (the minimum adequate spending level), determines each municipality’s required local contribution from property and income wealth, and fills the gap with state aid. The 2019 Student Opportunity Act raised the foundation rates for employee benefits, special education, English learners and low-income students, still phasing in.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Kipp Academy Boston Charter School are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.
