Chapter 70 is the Commonwealth’s School Funding Statute A district’s Chapter 70 aid is determined in three basic steps: 1. It defines and calculates a foundation budget, an adequate funding level for each district, given the specific grades, programs, and demographic characteristics of its students. 2. It then determines an equitable local contribution, how much of that “foundation budget” should be paid for by each city and town’s property tax, based upon the relative wealth of the community. 3. The remainder is funded by Chapter 70 (c70) state aid. 8

 A report by MassBudget gathered data from the state’s 328 operating districts and analyzed key trends found across each.report by MassBudget  The study found that most districts hire far fewer regular education teachers than the foundation budget sets as the adequate number. The education funding formula does not reflect increased health insurance and special education costs, forcing most districts to compensate with funds that would have supported hiring regular education teachers.  The foundation budget estimate of statewide district spending on special education and health insurance falls short by over $2 billion. 9
