List of school districts in Massachusetts
This is a list of school districts in Massachusetts. Local school districts. Non-operating local school districts, which are those districts that do not operate any school facilities and where all students attend school in regional academic school districts, are not listed. Charter school districts. Following the Education Reform Act of 1993, the state Department of Education authorized two types of "charter" schools, public schools outside the control of any school committee. "Commonwealth Charter Schools" (marked on this list with the letters "CC") are funded through money deducted by the state from its aid  payments to the school districts that would otherwise be responsible for the school's students; "Horace Mann Charter Schools" (marked "HM") are founded with the permission of the school districts in which they are physically located, and funded by their "parent" district. Superintendency unions. Each superintendency union serves multiple school districts with the same superintendent.
