Description

Mayor Walsh, Superintendent Tommy Chang, and other Boston School Committee members discuss the important relationship between summer learning and closing the achievement gap during the Boston Public Schools Summer Learning and Beyond Press Event at the Harvard-Kent School in Charlestown.

Research shows that a major contributing factor to the achievement gap is unequal access to summer learning opportunities. Boston After School & Beyond and Boston Public Schools are working together to implement more than 1,500 new program slots available to underserved children across the city.
