Dear Supporters,
Whether you are a Parent, Student, Alumnus/Alumna, Co-op Employer, Member of a School Committee or simply a supporter of Vocational, Technical, and Agricultural Schools in Massachusetts, we have an extremely important and time-sensitive request.
Our Vocational-Technical and Agricultural Schools are under threat. Proposed changes to admissions policies by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) could undermine the integrity of these vital institutions, jeopardizing the opportunities they provide to our students and communities. Ultimately creating a blind lottery admissions system that also has an effect on placement in the programs upon acceptance.
We need your help to uphold our current admissions policies and ensure these schools remain accessible to those who are truly passionate and dedicated to pursuing a skilled trade or agricultural career. #savethetrades
👉Please email the BoardofEducation no later than April 18th to voice your opposition to their proposed amendments.👈
