The Great Divide is an investigative series that explores educational inequality in Boston and statewide.
President Bidenâs proposal for free, high-quality preschool
for all 3- and 4-year-olds would create powerful change in Massachusetts, one of the nationâs most expensive child care markets, educators and parents said.
In a state where, despite its relative wealth and strong public school system, nearly half of children donât attend preschool, mostly because they canât afford it, universal preschool could help reduce the educational inequities that start long before kindergarten, they said.
Hudson Board of Selectmen, School Committee hopefuls share goals if elected
For School Committee, four candidates are vying for three seats, including incumbent Glen Maston.
The election is May 10. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
SELECT BOARD
Favorite thing about town: The people and small community feel of town, the open space
If elected, would prioritize: Adequate staffing in public safety departments without burdening taxpayers
Key takeaway: “I’m going to tell you the truth. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I’m going to tell you exactly how it is and work toward a solution on whatever issues might arise that people bring to the Select Board. Just being involved and being in the know, bringing a new voice, new ideas, a new concept to Town Hall, being transparent, being a voice for everyone in Hudson, from one end to the other.”
