06.25.08 - Action Agenda, Final Reports Released

On June 25, 2008, Governor Deval Patrick unveiled the final portions of his Education Action Agenda – the state’s blueprint to move Massachusetts through its next phase in education reform by 2020 – focused on improving access to higher education for all Massachusetts residents, and unleashing innovation to spur long-term system change in the state’s public education system. The announcement, made at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, preceded the historic first-ever joint meeting of the state’s newly formed 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.
