MTA Today Fall 2023

The past several months have seen increasing momentum for the Thrive Act and the MTA’s ballot initiative to end the graduation requirement tied to MCAS. Scores of educators, students, parents and elected officials are speaking out against the high-stakes nature of the MCAS exam and the harm the graduation test does to our communities and youth. What follows is a sampling of just a few of these diverse voices, including some of the first registered voters who signed the ballot initiative and people who spoke out at the Oct. 4 hearing on the Thrive Act at the State House.
