Public Hearings on PARCC

The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education heard testimony from the Public at its first Public Hearing on the Partnership for Assessment on Readiness for College and Career statewide assessments (PARCC). It is anticipated that the Board will vote to decide to move from MCAS to PARCC assessments later this year (fall).

The Wall (two weeks later)

Scroll down to my post of September 25, 2013 to see how the wall has changed! Still plenty of time for more mailings...I'll try updating the wall one more time before the Special Election this coming Tuesday, October 15th.

Political Mailings - CD5

These are the mailings I've received from the Democratic Candidates - I've taped them up on my kitchen wall. With the Special Election Primary just under three weeks away, I am sure to receive more! I'll update the wall with everything I've received closer to October 15th.
