Quick note on the budget signing

Earlier today, Governor Healey signed the FY24 state budget, which means, at long last, we have a state budget (more than a month into the new fiscal year). 

She did exercise her veto power on a few accounts that involve K-12 education, as follows: 

• Civics Education Trust fund cut by by $1M to $1.5M 
• $300K in earmarks in EL & Literacy programs (funded at $5,366,731)
• $100K from AP math & science (thus funded at $3,292,809)
• $5,601,240 from circuit breaker, which is the FY23 carryover that was in the language (thus making it $ 498,972,361)

On that last, the Governor cites the $75M in the FY23 supplemental budget, but that last is extraordinary relief. Regardless, the line is fully funded.  

All of the above are found here. 

There are not, as yet, new Ch. 70 spreadsheets, but the cherry sheets are updated.
