An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England, We, the heads of independent schools, comprising 176 schools in the New England region, stand in solidarity with our students and with the families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died and are grieving for the loss of life that occurred. We join with our colleagues in public, private, charter, independent, and faith-based schools demanding meaningful action to keep our students safe from gun violence on campuses and beyond. Many of our students, graduates, and families have joined the effort to ensure that this issue stays at the forefront of the national dialogue. We are all inspired by the students who have raised their voices to demand change. As school leaders we give our voices to this call for action. We come together out of compassion, responsibility, and our commitment to educate our children free of fear and violence. As school leaders, we pledge to do all in our power to keep our students safe. We call upon all elected representatives - each member of Congress, the President, and all others in positions of power at the governmental and private-sector level – to take action in making schools less vulnerable to violence, including sensible regulation of fi rearms. We are adding our voices to this dialogue as a demonstration to our students of our own commitment to doing better, to making their world safer. Our children’s safety is more important than partisan politics and we pledge to work with any and all who share our commitment. We stand together for our children and our children’s children to ensure that our country comes together for their right to learn and grow in safe communities nationwide. We know that action is needed now. Respectfully, Dr. Brian D. Bloomfield Tom Trigg David Stettler Thomas J.

  • Massachusetts Kindergarten Immunization Survey Results 2013‐2014
    Massachusetts Kindergarten Immunization Survey Results 2013‐2014 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is pleased to make available the 2013‐2014 Massachusetts kindergarten immunization survey results by school. Please be aware that the data are limited in a number of ways, including those listed below. Data release standards do not allow for data to be shared for schools with fewer than 30 reported kindergarteners. Schools that reported fewer than 30 kindergarteners are indicated (†). Not all schools return their survey. Schools without data due to non‐response are indicated (*). Data were collected in the fall, but immunization data are often updated throughout the year and rates (during the same school year) may be higher than reported due to additional children receiving immunizations or bringing records to school. Also, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted. Children are allowed a medical or religious exemption to one or more vaccines. Children without the required number of doses of vaccine do not necessarily have an exemption on file. Children without a record of vaccination, but with serologic proof of immunity to certain diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis b and varicella), meet school entry requirements, but may not be counted as vaccinated. All data are self‐reported by the schools and discrepancies may exist. For example, the percent of children with 5 doses of DTaP may be less than the percent of children meeting the series even though the series includes 5 doses of DTaP vaccine due to the spacing and age at which they received the doses.
