The SWM Committee budget proposal increases Chapter 70 by $3 million and increases the Charter Tuition Reimbursment by $3.1 million. Most other cherry sheet accounts are consistent with the amounts appearing in House 1 and House budget proposals released earlier this year.

Local aid estimates for charter school tuition and charter school tuition reimbursements are based on estimated tuition rates and projected enrollments under charters previously issued by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. Please be advised that charter school assessments and reimbursements will change as updated tuition rates become available. Estimates for the School Choice assessments may also change significantly when updated to reflect final tuition rates.

If you have questions about these estimates, please call the Databank/Local Aid Section at (617) 626-2384.
