Since then, school committees across the state have been doing likewise; MASC has been keeping a running list here ('though that won't be updated until later this morning with the overnight updates), while the MTA is keeping a running list of all committees and councils. There's A LOT OF THEM.
- Worcester officials kicked off the local "No on 2" campaign yesterday in front of Burncoat High. Here's Mayor Petty: "Make no mistake, raising the charter school cap is a cut to our public schools. And cuts do not lead to increased graduation rates and better educated students," he said.
