FY2026 CMVS Annual Tuition Adjustment for InflationThis memorandum informs the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Virtual Schools (CMVS) and sending districts about the fiscal year 2026 (FY2026) base tuition rate approved by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education in December 2024, which has been adjusted to reflect inflation for FY2026. The CMVS tuition rate does not change over the course of the year.
The Massachusetts Virtual School Financial Dashboard is an easy-to-understand visual snapshot of a school's potential financial risk over a 5-year period using standard financial indicators. It also includes audit information as well as other financial highlights. The dashboard is aligned with the financial criteria described in the Virtual School Performance Criteria. The data in the MA Virtual School Financial Dashboard is derived from the Virtual School End of Year Financial Reports (VSEOYFR) and independent financial audits submitted annually by each virtual school. This tool is updated periodically.
