Although the School Lunch program is funded in both the FY2015 final budget and the FY2016 Governor's budget proposal, we have removed the
estimate from the cherry sheet as this program is an education offset that has no impact on the tax rate setting process_Source page 2

FY2016 Local Aid Proposals
Governor Charlie Baker released his FY2016 budget proposal (House 1) today and we have posted
local aid estimates based on his proposal to the DLS website at the link below:
http://www.mass.gov/dor/local-officials/municipal-data-and-financial-management/cherry-sheets/
House 1 recommends funding FY2016 Chapter 70 at $4.5 billion or $105.3 million higher than the
FY2015 level, increasing Unrestricted General Government aid by $34.0 million to $979.8 million, and
level funding most other cherry sheet accounts at the FY2015 amounts.
Local aid estimates for charter school tuition and charter school tuition reimbursements are based on
estimated tuition rates and projected enrollments under charters previously issued by the Board of
Elementary and Secondary Education. Please be advised that charter school assessments and
reimbursements will change as updated tuition rates become available. Estimates for the School
Choice assessments may also change significantly when updated to reflect final tuition rates.
It is important for local officials to remember that the local aid estimates are preliminary and are
subject to change as the legislative process unfolds.
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) has published the Chapter 70 aid
calculations, minimum contributions and net school spending requirements on the Office of School
Finance website at:
