   "side": "money_out",
   "what": "What Monty Tech spends, and on what",
   "why": "Lunenburg is assessed $1,334,521 for Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical in FY2026 and that figure is what the town is BILLED, not what educating 101 foundation pupils costs. The archive holds two of the district\u2019s own budget books \u2014 the FY2024 hearing book and the FY2027 presentation \u2014 so a FY24-to-FY27 view of its spending by DESE function code does exist. What does not exist here is a SERIES: no year before FY2024, nothing for the years between the two books, and no all-funds end-of-year figure at all, only budgets and two years the FY2027 book labels Actual Expenditures. So the district\u2019s cost per Lunenburg pupil cannot be tracked over time, and cannot be compared to Lunenburg Public Schools\u2019 own per-pupil spending, which is measured all-funds and after the year closed."

   "what": "How the Monty Tech assessment splits between operating, transportation and capital",
   "why": "A regional assessment is four parts, and the district names them: required minimum contribution set by the state, transportation and other operating above minimum net school spending, capital outlay, and bonds. The split is published for FY2024, FY2026 and FY2027 in the district\u2019s own budget books, and for FY2023 it was itemised in prose at a Finance Committee meeting. Every other year holds only the total. That includes FY2025, and it includes all eleven annual-report years FY2011 to FY2022 \u2014 so for the whole of the series this project charts, the roughly 4-10% of the assessment sitting above the state minimum cannot be attributed to transportation, to capital or to debt. It matters because those three behave nothing alike: one tracks a busing contract, one is voted year by year, and one is fixed until it ends."

   "why": "Monty Tech\u2019s FY2027 budget presentation puts Lunenburg\u2019s total assessment at $1,452,379, built from a required minimum contribution of $1,378,183 and a transportation and operating assessment of $74,196 with no capital and no bonds. The Town\u2019s own FY2027 operating budget book carries the same line at $1,452,426, in all three of its scenarios. The difference is $47 and neither document acknowledges the other. It is small enough to be a rounding or a late revision and it is not nothing: the two figures are the district\u2019s bill and the town\u2019s appropriation for the same year, and every other year in this archive where both exist ties to the dollar or to eighteen cents."

   "side": "document_wanted",
   "what": "How the Montachusett regional agreement apportions costs among its member towns",
   "why": "The apportionment method is now on the record twice: the district printed it in Lunenburg\u2019s FY2017 annual town report \u2014 four parts, with transportation and other operating divided by each town\u2019s 1 October enrolment share and capital divided by each town\u2019s school-attending children in grades 1 to 12 \u2014 and DESE\u2019s own apportionment sheet, reprinted in the FY2027 budget presentation, shows the required-contribution part split between a town\u2019s two districts by foundation-budget share. WHAT IS STILL MISSING IS THE INSTRUMENT. A budget book states current practice; the regional agreement is what binds it, and it is the document that would say whether the ratios can be changed, how bonds are apportioned and over what term, what a member town\u2019s withdrawal would require, and what amendments have been made. Asked at the Finance Committee on 5 February 2026 whether the agreement was indefinite or could be renegotiated, the Superintendent-Director said he believed it was ongoing and that amendments were very rare. A recollection at a meeting is not the instrument."

   "side": "people",
   "what": "How many Lunenburg applicants Monty Tech turns away",
   "why": "Lunenburg\u2019s count at Monty Tech has risen in nine of the last twelve years, and a count is the outcome of two things at once: families applying, and Monty Tech admitting. The lottery exists precisely because more apply than there are places. Asked at the Finance Committee on 5 February 2026 how many Lunenburg students were turned away, the district\u2019s business manager said she was unsure of the exact number. The Class of 2030 lottery result in this archive gives one cohort\u2019s admissions \u2014 24 Lunenburg students of 365 places \u2014 and its per-applicant pages are OCR of an image PDF and cannot be counted from. So a rising count cannot be read as rising demand, and the two have opposite implications for what the town should expect next."

   "side": "people",
   "what": "Why DESE\u2019s foundation enrolment for Lunenburg at Monty Tech differs from its own October headcount",
   "why": "Two DESE counts of the same thing disagree in every year. The Chapter 70 foundation enrolment used to compute the assessment \u2014 derived on /monty-tech by subtracting the Lunenburg district\u2019s from the town\u2019s \u2014 runs between eight below and fifteen above the October headcount of Lunenburg residents attending Montachusett Regional in DESE\u2019s own residents-by-district file, and the gap has no consistent sign or size. One documented mechanism puts children into the assessment who are not at Monty Tech: the district\u2019s business director told the Finance Committee in March 2022 that four Lunenburg students attending trade programmes at Leominster and Nashoba \u201cbecome part of the Monty Tech assessment\u201d. That accounts for a difference in one direction and not for the years running the other way. Until it is reconciled, no per-student figure on this page can be quoted without saying which count is the denominator."

  "That the eleven annual-report figures are right. Every one of them fails the extractor\u2019s own reconciliation, so they are drawn as candidates.
