Governor Patrick keeps a promise

Last February, Governor Patrick pledged to create a new Gateway Cities education strategy at the MassINC Gateway Cities Education Summit. The Governor made good on his pledge by including $10 million to implement his Gateway Cities education strategy, unveiled in November, in his FY 2013 budget request.

Governor Patrick’s plan would provide resources to Gateway City districts to further many of the innovations and services critical to their success, these include professional development, student support councilors, afterschool programming for students acquiring English language skills, high school career academies, and public-private partnerships.
