Chapter 70 Amendments
SECTION 97.
Section 12B of said chapter 76, as so appearing, is hereby amended by striking paragraph (f), and inserting in place thereof the following paragraph:-
(f) For each student enrolling in a receiving district, there shall be a school choice tuition amount. Said tuition amount shall be equal to 75 percent of the actual per pupil spending amount in the receiving district for such education as is required by such non-resident student, but not more than $5,000; provided, however, that for special education students whose tuition amount shall remain the expense per student for such type of education as is required by such non-resident student. The state treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to deduct said school choice tuition amount from the total education aid, as defined in chapter 70, of said student's sending municipality, prior to the distribution of said aid and to deposit said aid in the School Choice Tuition Trust Fund established by section 12C. If, in a single municipality, the total of all such deductions exceeds the total of said education aid, this excess amount shall be deducted from other aid appropriated to the city or town. If, in a single municipality, the total of all such deductions exceeds the total state aid appropriated, the commonwealth shall appropriate this excess amount.
