something I got to work on (with the librarians who were of course great!) recently:

A pair of useful ones if you haven't read them already, #MAEdu

"Springfield Empowerment Zone Co-Executive Director Matthew Brunell clarified that the [Alpha Schools] pilot was paused due to the cyberattack on Springfield Public Schools that occurred in the beginning of September. He said the pilot will likely not be in use this school year."

Those MBTA ads attacking BPS were a bum rap | by Schoolyard News | Oct, 2026 | Boston Parents Schoolyard News schoolyardnews.com/those-mbta-a... #BosPoli #MAEdu

how cute is this?

I find this entertaining, but it's also a bit of hazing of the new Commissioner and Secretary, I think www.masslive.com/politics/202...

I promsie I am not going all conspiracy-theory on this, but I do think the timing is a thing who-cester.blogspot.com/2026/10/conn...

Congratulations to Franklin County Tech on getting their new building passed #MAEdu

I understand the Boston Globe had to write their own voucher article, though it has been well covered by both @statehousenews.com and @flipsidenews.bsky.social, but a round of “but they said” closing with a pro-voucher quote certainly reads as advocacy, not news. #MAEdu

Per the Greenfield Recorder’s raw results, there will not be a Great River School District. The towns overwhelming rejected consolidation of the Gill-Montague and Pioneer Regional School districts (with or without Warwick). #MAEdu

Thanks to @jpaleolo.bsky.social for covering the big vote that's happening in western Mass tomorrow

I have no data on how many schools are using what, but I will note that dyslexia screening is now required by MA law, which makes it entirely possible that some MA districts are using Amira for that.

Oh gawd, Mary Tamer strikes again!

cheers to @wbjournal.bsky.social for running the @statehousenews.com piece on Gov. Healey and the federal voucher scheme wbjournal.com/article/trea...

#MAEdu #mapoli

Per further @statehousenews.com reporting, Healey is still ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ on the vouchers

#MAEdu #mapoli

I’d note two further things:
1. Governor Healey has yet to say if MA is out of the federal voucher scheme;
2. Boston Public Schools secondary school students ride the T to school.

#MAEdu

“Though it is well-funded enough to afford a $1.5 million ad campaign, its leaders won’t identify most of the people bankrolling this effort.”

#MAEdu

The Boston Globe was always going to be pro-voucher, but the poorly informed nature of today’s editorial is bad.
They waited for the rule-making but didn’t read it. There’s no “shaping” this program.
