BOSTON – Advocates pushing for more resources to help move vocational students into careers are aligned with Gov. Charlie Baker as they seek budgetary increases this year and $75 million in bond authorization to buy school equipment and pay for expansions.
Rep. Alice Peisch, a Wellesley Democrat who is co-chairwoman of the Education Committee, said "there is an appreciation for the value" of vocational education and business and education can team up for a "win win." There is also a need for vigilance as public institutions partner with business so that schools don't become "a state-funded satellite of the business," she said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Marco Rubio is working to play a role at the Republican National Convention even as his rivals scramble to pick off convention delegates claimed by the Florida senator before he suspended his campaign.
Rubio has sent letters to Republican officials in states where he has won delegates, charging he wants to keep his delegates, even though he's no longer an active candidate.
