How Will the Governor's Proposed Budget Affect Wayland's Local Aid?

Wayland is set to receive $1.05 million more from the state in Fiscal Year 2014 than it is estimated to receive in FY13 under Gov. Deval Patrick's proposed budget.

In addition to the increase in aid, Wayland's assessment is set to decrease by $30,181, from $202,680 in FY13 to $172,499 in FY14.

The bulk of the state aid increase for Wayland can be found under the Chapter 70 line item. Wayland's Chapter 70 funding is slated to increase from $3.3 million in FY13 to $4.3 million in FY14.

Wayland's net state aid had been on a downward trend since 2009 and, while FY13's net state aid did decrease, the reduction was less than it was from FY11 to FY12.

According to the governor's budget, FY14 would see Wayland receiving its greatest amount of local aid this century. Wayland's net local aid — receipts minus state assessments — by fiscal year:

• Fiscal 2014 = $5,019,757
• Fiscal 2013 = $3,759,923
• Fiscal 2012 = $3,794,380
• Fiscal 2011 = $3,853,139
• Fiscal 2010 = $4,097,034
• Fiscal 2009 = $4,569,423
• Fiscal 2008 = $4,277,176
• Fiscal 2007 = $3,894,920
• Fiscal 2006 = $4,065,590
• Fiscal 2005 = $4,100,179
• Fiscal 2004 = $3,995,642
• Fiscal 2003 = $4,803,584
• Fiscal 2002 = $4,810,382
• Fiscal 2001 = $4,477,299
• Fiscal 2000 = $3,847,350

The House and Senate will next propose their own plans and then agree on a final product before getting the budget to Patrick's desk for his signature before the new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2012.
