  • May 10, 2016 the Honorable John B. King, Jr. Secretary of Education 400
    May 10, 2016 The Honorable John B. King, Jr. Secretary of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202 Dear Secretary King: As teachers and principals in Title I schools, we are writing to urge you to ensure that one of the most important provisions of the Every Student Succeeds Act – the provision that ensures that federal Title I funds are supplemental to state and local school funding – is fully and fairly enforced by states. This provision goes to the heart of this civil rights law because it is intended to ensure that federal resources are spent to provide the additional educational resources that students need to succeed. While leaders in Congress agree that ensuring equity for all students is a core component of the new law, the steps to honor this intent and carry it out are complex, controversial, and could have unintended consequences. Making smart, fair choices as the law is implemented will take concerted effort by everyone involved. The purpose of Title I is to “provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.” As teachers and principals in Title I schools who are working every day to close these achievement gaps, we see first-hand the importance to our students of the critical services and resources made available through supplemental Title I funding. If this important ESSA provision is not properly enforced, we are concerned that some states could misunderstand the law's intent and use Title I for other purposes, including using it to replace state and local funding.

    MASSACHUSETTS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS, INC. URBAN SUPERINTENDENTS’ NETWORK Friday, March 26, 2021 Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education c/0 Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education 75 Pleasant Street Malden, MA 02148 Dear Members of the Board of Education: The Urban Superintendents’ Network is comprised of 25 urban school districts located in various regions across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and educating 279,653 students, making up approximately 31% of the entire public-school student population in our state. We write to you today as the chief child education advocates in our respective school districts with grave concerns regarding the decision to proceed with the requirement of administering the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) test this year to students in grades 3-8 and high school. We write to you today to give voice to the students and their families who do not have voice; we write to you today from the lens of equity and fairness. Finally, we write to you today from the core value of putting the needs of our children first; we contend, a state- wide assessment is not an immediate need this spring. We are struggling to understand the point of diverting our time, energy, and talent from the very real work of ensuring that urban students and their families are supported to combat ongoing food and housing insecurities, physical health and safety issues, social -emotional and mental health concerns, and academic gaps and foundational learning losses. In urban school districts in particular, we must wraparound our students and families and do all of these things.
