Charter Public School Funding
For each child that enrolls in a Massachusetts charter school, the school receives a tuition amount from the state equal to the per-pupil amount of the child's sending district.  The state then deducts the same amount from the sending district's state aid account. Like other public schools, Commonwealth charter schools are eligible to receive federal and state grant funds that go to public schools such as Special Education, Title 1, and Safe and Drug Free Schools.

Commonwealth charter schools may also apply for private grants and receive contributions.

Charter Schools are not Eligible for School Building Assistance
The charter school statute states, "no school building assistance funds shall be awarded to a Commonwealth charter school for the purpose of constructing, reconstructing, or improving said school." The Massachusetts Legislature, however, has included a facilities component as part of the tuition paid to charter schools.
