(Boston, MA) Two bills in Massachusetts are looking to provide funding and support to rural schools and are sponsored by Representative Natalie Blais and Senator Jo Comerford. “An Act to Provide a Sustainable future For Rural School” aims to provide targeted support to rural schools that often cost more per pupil to operate than in larger districts, while also facing low and declining enrollment and are supported by small tax bases. The bills would provide transportation funding, re-examine Special Education Financing statewide, among other things.
