    Today, @MassGovernor and @MassLtGov announced that we are fully funding the Student Opportunity Act-- making the largest investment in K-12 schools in MA’s history. Because when our students reach their potential, Massachusetts does too.

    Today’s decision does not change our commitment to our students, especially students of color, LGBTQ+ students, first generation students, and all those historically underrepresented in higher education.
    In Massachusetts – home to the first public school and first university – our commitment to equity, inclusion, and representation in education remains unshakable.
    MA will be welcoming and inclusive of students of color and students underrepresented in higher education. Today’s decision overturns decades of settled law. Our commitment to progress and representation in education remain unshakable.  

We will continue to break down barriers to higher education so that all students see themselves represented in both our public and private campus communities. MA, the home of the first public school and first university, will lead the way in championing access, equity, and inclusion in education.  

We want to make sure that students of color, LGBTQ+ students, first generation students, and all underrepresented in higher ed feel welcomed and valued at our colleges and universities. Today’s decision, while disappointing, will not change our commitment to these students. We have an imperative to make sure our schools reflect our communities. Our academic competitiveness, the future of our workforce, and our commitment to equity demand we take action.

    A historic moment. Our Governor comes from a family of educators — and she just signed into law the largest percentage increase in education funding in decades.
    In Massachusetts, we meet the challenges of the moment by embracing the opportunities that come with them. That's what this budget is all about — making a real, positive difference through where we spend our dollars. Today, I signed our administration’s first budget ✍🏻

    Paraeducators play such an important role in and outside of classrooms for all of our learners. On #ParaprofessionalAppreciationDay, we wanted to remind you of how grateful we are each and every day for your work and dedication to our students.
