OP-ED: School Funding Formula Not Fair to Communities Like Watertown

Submitted by State Sen. Will Brownsberger, whose district includes Watertown, Belmont and parts of Boston.

Overall, state aid to schools is inadequate and, although the current distribution formula works out well for Belmont and Boston, it is unfair to many communities, including Watertown. I hope we can pass the “millionaire’s tax” this November and use the proceeds to increase school aid under a simpler, more rational formula.
