Bill overview
This bill would allow Massachusetts school districts to charge fees to students who live outside the district but attend school there. Currently, these districts often absorb the full cost of transporting non-resident students. The bill aims to shift some of that financial responsibility to the families of those students, helping to offset transportation expenses. School districts would determine the specific fee amounts and how they would be used.
