@SueNBCBoston Oh, yes! But that’s less relevant to Q of who Progressives choose to endorse. You make good point that it’s not a binary. We shouldn’t automatically assume that if she’s not one, she’s the other. Progressive endorsers should be seeking more than just “not conservative.” #bospoli

We need an elected Boston School Committee. #ElecttheBSC

Thank you to Julia Mejia Brian Worrell & Benjamin Weber for their clear acknowledgement of Boston's lack of elected representation in our school committee and that this has an effect on our schools, esp the budget! #ElectTheBSC

Great analysis by @PeterTPiazza and more reasons to vote #Yeson2! "Report often cited by MCAS backers isn't as pro-MCAS as they say" commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/report… via @cwbeacon

In 2021, nearly 100k Boston residents voted to ELECTtheBSC , in 2023 the Boston City Council passed a Home Rule Petition to honor the will of the voters but unfortunately it was vetoed by City of Boston administration. In hopes of restoring trust we're giving democracy another chance

This proposal to shift from an elected committee to a majority-appointed one is now at the state level. We have until Wednesday, December 4, at 5 PM to urge state officials to reject this change and allow the current school committee to continue our transition to local control.

gonna shock exactly no one that the Globe's opiners think that Lawrence should "experiment" with a partly appointed school committee #MAEdu Funny how we never "experiment" with the Metrowest suburbs, isn't it.

The appointed school committee is NOT working in Boston, as 79% of voters will tell you, and Lawrence doesn't deserve to have their elected representation stripped away, either. Esp not as Lawrence finally moves away from receivership!!

Lawrence deserves to have its elected school committee working for them, not to have seats stripped away as they finally move toward ending receivership. bostonglobe.com/2024/12/09/opi…

and so Lawrence loses their elected power before they've regained it #MAEdu

Councilor Julia Mejia with a super-relevant point. dotnews.com/2025/dever-sch…

Respectfully, this is a very out-of-touch argument. electthebsc.org/faq

Great letters to the editor in today's Globe from BESC's own Mary Battenfeld & from BLA teacher Michael J. Maguire — thank you both for your clear-eyed look at the state of the school committee itself & the rhetoric surrounding it. bostonglobe.com/2025/02/25/opi…
