The Issue
For decades, outdated funding formulas for public schools in Massachusetts left low-income students, students of color, and English language learners behind. This creates wide achievement gaps, that continue beyond K-12 education and have consequences for one's entire life.
Christine's Plan
I was proud to vote for the Student Opportunity Act, a comprehensive education funding reform package that will positively impact every student in Somerville, Medford, and statewide. This bill will provide new funding to MA public schools, focusing on schools with higher proportions of low-income students, students of color, and English language learners.
