FY2019 Preliminary Cherry Sheet Estimates
The Division of Local Services has posted on its website preliminary cherry sheet estimates based on Governor Baker's FY2019 budget recommendation (House 2), which was released today.

Regional school estimated receipts and charges
House 2 recommends funding FY2019 Chapter 70 at $4.851 billion, or $103.6 million higher than the FY2018 level; increases Unrestricted General Government Aid (UGGA) by $37.2 million to $1.099 billion; and level funding most other cherry sheet accounts at the FY2018 amounts.
Cherry sheet estimates for charter school tuition and reimbursements are based on estimated tuition rates and projected enrollments under charters previously issued by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. Please be advised that charter school assessments and reimbursements will change as update tuition rates become available. Estimates for the school choice assessments may also change significantly when updated to reflect final tuition rates.
It is important for local officials to remember that these estimates are preliminary and are subject to change as the legislative process unfolds.
