The following districts will get no benefit:
- Fall River
- Fitchburg
- Gardner
- Haverhill
- Lynn
- Lowell
- Lawrence
- New Bedford
- Southbridge
- Springfield
- Taunton
- Worcester*
(that was my quick scan of the usual suspects; it may not be all)
Why no benefit? Because their foundation aid increases already are more than $50/pupil.
OH, comes the response! Then they already are getting a benefit.
No: that's the aid they need to HIT THE MINIMUM.
Per pupil increases are over that.

Should we hear "no money to fix the foundation budget"--when its being broken hits the neediest districts the hardest--remember where money has gone.
*a few that are this year? Chelsea, Revere, Everett, Holyoke, all due to enrollment not being in their favor
