BOSTON – A series of leaked emails may shed more light on the intentions and strategies of a group of parents who seek dramatic changes at the prestigious Boston Latin School.
The informal organization, which calls itself Parents Promoting Equity and Diversity, planned a June 16 meeting with top district administrators, according to a recent batch of emails. The group already has held a series of meetings, and the emails show members have discussed how to reach out to the media about the situation at the city exam school.
BOSTON – Massachusetts boasts a higher proportion of college-educated adults than any other state, but could see that number decline instead of grow within six years unless public college enrollments grow and more students complete their degrees, according to a new state report.
Titled "The Degree Gap," the report released Wednesday by the Department of Higher Education says shifting demographics mean public colleges and universities will likely fall short of meeting the need for graduates with associate and bachelor degrees by 55,000 to 65,000 people.
