Legislature continues in it's failure to meet their obligation;

This failure causes Templeton to have to pay over $700,000.00 in transportation costs (busing)

So the legislature continues it's practice of not keeping its promises. 

Because the 58 regional school districts in Massachusetts cover larger geographic areas, they face greater costs to ensure all pupils can get to and from each school. The state is, by statute, supposed to fully cover the expenses as a way to help manage the burden, but for years has fallen below the rate of full reimbursement, creating strain at the local level.

The initially proposed 80 percent rate was an improvement over the 60 percent offered as recently as 2012, but senators argued Thursday the growth still does not go far enough.

"It is necessary to show that we are committed to our regional school districts," Gobi said during debate. "This is one thing that helps to keep them going and it keeps a promise. We should not be known as the state that does not keep its promises to its school districts. We are going in the right direction."
