"State Representative Natalie Blais (D-Deerfield) and State Senator Jo Comerford (D-Northampton) introduced H.517/S.314 An Act to Provide a Sustainable Future for Rural Schools." 

"The Senate version of the bill was reported out favorably by the Joint Committee on Education in a highly modified version that removed the Rural Aid provision among other things. A snapshot of the updates can be viewed here. Unfortunately, due to rules this session requiring separate bills from the House and Senate, and the unexpected resignation of Rep. Blais as the champion of the House bill, the rural schools bill is not expected to pass both chambers."

An Act to Provide a Sustainable Future for Rural Schools is a bill to help rural schools in Massachusetts. The version of this bill that went to the Senate was heavily revised, including removing the full funding of current Rural Aid (as well as these other things). Because a version of this bill must pass both the Senate and the House, and Representative Blais who was the main advocate for it resigned, it is not expected to pass both the House and the Senate.
