What we are facing

Like many school districts in Massachusetts, our schools are facing a budget shortfall again this year.  This is not the fault of our schools. The simple fact is that inadequate state and local funding doesn’t keep up with rising costs. The answer, though, simply can’t be to throw up our hands and accept less. It’s time to advocate for our schools, for our kids!
