Big week on school finance next week

Hearings at either end of the week of note for school finance watchers in Massachusetts, with a bonus on school finance in the middle:
  • On Monday, the Joint Ways and Means Committee is holding their FY20 hearing on education at Bristol Community College in New Bedford (building G); that starts at 11 am. 

  • On Wednesday, Governor Charlie Baker is keynoting at the MASBO Solutions Fair in Marlborough.  One assumes that when the Governor comes to talk to school finance people, he'll talk school finance.

  • On Friday, the Joint Committee on Education is holding a hearing on the education funding bills in the Gardner Auditorium at the State House beginning at 10 am. Note that if you're in Worcester, there is a bus leaving City Hall at 8 am to take you there and back, if you like. 
Yes, all of the above will be liveblogged and tweeted, and MASC plans to report out on these, as well. And if you cannot make the hearings, you can always send testimony into the Committee chairs.
