Summary
The bill raises the state’s base cost for an adequate education from $4,100 to $7,356.01 per pupil and adds a detailed list of resources that must be covered, such as teachers, counselors, technology and transportation. It would require the General Court to update the cost at least every two years using actual school cost data, and would cost roughly $500 million more each year.
