In keeping with my campaign promise, my Administration is announcing a plan to give working and middle class families breathing room as they prepare to resume federal student loan payments in January 2023. I'll have more details this afternoon.

Integrated classrooms benefit ALL students and should be a priority. Read about the benefits and integration models in this great op-ed by @MassINC 's Simone Ngongi-Lukula. #maedu Massachusetts’ failure to forestall growing segregation https://t.co/RbRQcRD5D3 via @BostonGlobe

The state’s failure to provide leadership for the past two decades has left Massachusetts schools highly segregated by race, ethnicity, and income.

.@malachi70 & Jennifer Davis Carey have it right: "But without state oversight, we risk spending millions of dollars on the same practices that have failed too many of our young people for years."

The restoration of accountability language is a bottom line. A final bill should: ensure that $ is wisely spent & increase the focus on college & career readiness. #FBRC #maedu Education funding: The House must repair the Senate’s damage https://t.co/PQXSmk2FRF via @BostonGlobe

A careful compromise on education funding came undone in the Senate.

Yes, the school funding reform bill gets it “mostly right” but it lacks support for programs that improve student readiness for college & workforce opportunities. The Senate must adopt amendments that provide sustainable funding for early college & career pathways programs
Editorial: The sweeping bill, dubbed the Student Opportunity Act, promises the largest boost to state investment in the Commonwealth’s K-12 education system in more than 20 years — roughly $1.5 billion in local aid over the next seven years.

Check out MBAE's latest. Money alone will not guarantee student success.
Check out our new school funding explorer video to get answers to these questions: Is it equitable and does more funding always lead to better results? https://t.co/yi5X2nWePV via @YouTube

MA's new ed funding bill represents a strong foundation for implementing #FBRC findings, yet we’ll continue to push for improvements that strengthen focus on college and workforce readiness. Our Executive Director discusses with @bostonjonas: https://t.co/6HWjCIXVNA

2.Achievement gaps are an urgent challenge – the $1.5 billion of add’l funding in the Student Opportunity Act must be fully leveraged to close gaps. State & local officials must set targets for improvement, regularly report on progress and be held accountable for results.

This is not the time to step back from high standards and accountability.
1.ACCOUNTABILITY CAN’T WAIT! @MASchoolsK12 should recognize schools that are doing great, but also call out and provide assistance to those that aren’t. For students stuck in underperforming schools, one hour, one day, one month is too much.

It's necessary but not enough to increase ed funding. How money is spent matters! Legislation must leverage every tool & utilize every best practice to close achievement & skills gaps that cost students opps to change the trajectory of their lives. #FBRC

No substitute for hands-on, applied learning that should be made available to all students. Kudos @VertexPharma & orgs working to expand these opps State’s biotech industry aims to spark girls’ interests in science long before high school https://t.co/JlwZUtXqa0 via @BostonGlobe

To build the pipeline of women in science, the Massachusetts biotech industry has adopted something of a mantra: Get girls hooked on science when they’re young, and the more the better.
