06.24.08 - Education Reform Continues


On June 24, 2008, Governor Deval Patrick announced additional features of the Education Action Agenda – the state’s blueprint to move Massachusetts through its next phase in education reform by 2020. “Great schools don’t happen without great teachers,” Governor Patrick said surrounded by business leaders at EMC Corporation in Hopkinton, a global leader of information infrastructure technology and solutions.

The full action agenda will be released on Wednesday, June 25th at the first-ever joint meeting of the state’s education boards: the Board of Early Education and Care, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Board of Higher Education and the University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees.
