Currently, more than 30,000 Massachusetts students attend charter schools, about 3 percent of the total student population.

Less than a week before Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to arrive in Havana, tensions grew in Cuba's capital as 90 activists protesting the country's recently renewed ties with America were arrested Sunday, according to YahooNews and the AFP.
The majority of the protesters, approximately 50, were members of the Ladies in White dissident group, while others wore black and white masks of President Barack Obama's face.
