The FY27 Massachusetts Budget has officially been signed into law!

A major win for public education is the creation of a new Foundation Budget Review Commission (FBRC) - a priority MASC has advocated for over many years. The Commission will review the Commonwealth's K-12 school funding formula for the first time since 2015, and MASC will have a seat at the table to help shape its recommendations.

Our FY27 Budget Summary highlights this milestone, along with the budget's major education investments and what they mean for school districts across the Commonwealth.
