Official text

That this City Council calls on the Massachusetts Legislature and Governor to fully fund the Student Opportunity Act, and maintain the $150 per pupil minimum aid increase in Fiscal Year 2027. School districts face rising costs and commitments to our students and families, and stable aid is essential to sustain educational programs and student support.
