It will be a summer full of acceleration academies, tutoring, math instruction, and community college coursework for Massachusetts students under a $70 million grant plan rolled out by state officials Friday.
The state grants to schools are an effort to address student learning loss brought on by the pandemic. In some cities and towns, schools are reopening after having been closed for a year or more to in-person learning and many of their families have struggled with the deaths of loved ones or the loss of regular employment. Gov. Charlie Baker acknowledged those difficulties and how they affected communites unevenly at a press conference in Canton on Friday.
