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. -
2019-2020 Community Health Implementation Plan
2019-2020 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN MGH Community Health Implementation Plan Executive Summary Introduction A Community Health Implementation Plan (CHIP) is a road map to address community-identified public health challenges identified through the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), (www.massgeneral.org/cchi/), both conducted triennially. This report is the 2019-2022 CHIP for Massachusetts General Hospital. The Mass General 2019 CHNA and CHIP are based on our participation in two first ever collaborative processes in Boston and North Suffolk (Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop). In each collaborative, participants engaged community organizations, local officials, schools, health care providers, the business and faith communities, residents, and others in an approximately year-long process. The process was tailored to unique local conditions, to better understand the health issues that most affect communities and the assets available to address them. Boston and North Suffolk have conducted their own CHNAs and CHIPs that can be found here: www.BostonCHNA.org and www.northsouffolkassessment.org. Hospitals are required by regulators (MA Attorney General, IRS) to produce their own CHNA and CHIP, approved by a governing board of the institution. Mass General used the Boston and North Suffolk implementation plans as guidance for its own and engaged content experts to complete the CHIP. The Priorities The guiding principle for the Boston and North Suffolk collaboratives is to achieve racial and ethnic health equity. In all communities, social determinants of health emerged as top priorities, as up to 80% of health status is determined by the social and economic conditions where we live and work. Notably, this is the first CHNA ever in which housing and economic issues rose to the top of the list. -

Baker/Polito Administration Awards $7.5 Million in Grants for Comprehensive School Health Services | Mass.Gov
6/20/2019 Baker/Polito Administration awards $7.5 million in grants for comprehensive school health services | Mass.gov Mass.gov PRESS RELEASE Baker/Polito Administration awards $7.5 million in grants for comprehensive school health services FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 4/26/2019 Department of Public Health MEDIA CONTACT Omar Cabrera, Manager of Ethnic Media and Community Outreach Phone (617) 624-5089 (tel:6176245089) Online [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) BOSTON — The Baker-Polito Administration has awarded more than $7.5 million in grants to 123 public school districts and 11 non-public schools across the Commonwealth to enhance comprehensive school health services, primarily in areas where students have greater economic disadvantage. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) https://www.mass.gov/news/bakerpolito-administration-awards-75-million-in-grants-for-comprehensive-school-health 1/4 6/20/2019 Baker/Polito Administration awards $7.5 million in grants for comprehensive school health services | Mass.gov grants will be used to provide mental and physical health services aimed at improving student attendance and boosting their academic achievement. ``All the evidence points to the fact that children can’t learn if they are not healthy,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders. ``This funding will support our efforts to keep students healthy, in school, and prepared to learn.” The four-year grants are funded by the state and were awarded through a competitive bidding process. Each grant comes with three, 2-year options to renew. Each school district will receive from $3,000 to $250,000 annually, depending on student enrollment, community need, and the level of programming that schools committed to in their grant applications.
