'The Next Step in Ed Reform'
The State Legislature's Joint Committee on Education, co-chaired by Rep. Patricia Haddad (D-Somerset) and Senator Robert Antonioni (D-Leominster), is holding a series of hearings across Massachusetts through November.
The purpose of the tour, called "Back to School: The Next Step in Education Reform," is to give the public an opportunity to share with the Committee any concerns they have about what is happening in their schools, and to provide the Committee with suggested solutions and proposals for their consideration.
