This page hosts resources to help users understand state aid to Massachusetts public schools. It contains information about legislation and regulations, spending requirements, analytic reports, and other features. It also includes two downloadable Excel workbooks:

• Chapter 70 District Profiles - Shows yearly spending and state aid totals since 1993 by district in comparison to the foundation budget.
Chapter 70 Trends in Aid and Local Contribution - Shows trend data for the key factors influencing Chapter 70 required local contributions and state aid calculations since 2007.

The Chapter 70 program is the major program of state aid to public elementary and secondary schools. In addition to providing state aid to support school operations, it also establishes minimum spending requirements for each school district and minimum requirements for each municipality's share of school costs.
