Please take a moment to answer a few questions about if and how you or your district use the MASC Management Information for School Committees Survey Report. If you have never heard of or used this report, please let us know, as well! Your answers will help us provide a more useful tool for school districts in the future.
While the Senate Budget takes further steps towards implementing the recommendations of the Foundation Budget Review Commission, it omits some of the other recommendations. We urge you to contact your Senator today and ask them to co-sponsor budget Amendment 75, which lays out a timeline and process for implementation of these additional provisions, while including low income and English Language Learner sections. Local school committee members and superintendents know the urgency this issue warrants!
As FY18 budgets are being finalized, we encourage school leaders and all other community stakeholders to share with their legislators the urgent need to support revisions to the Foundation Budget (see, for example, S.223 "An Act to Modernize the Foundation Budget", sponsored by Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz).
Use this simple online tool to send a message to state legislators urging the implementation of the Foundation Budget Review Commission recommendations. Please join us in supporting public education in Massachusetts and share the letter with legislators using the form below. We've provided a sample letter for you to use, or you can personalize it before sending.
