State Legislative, Education Leaders Announce Student Opportunity Act

Today, the Joint Committee on Education released the Student Opportunity Act.

The Student Opportunity Act:

• Makes an unprecedented $1.5 billion investment in Massachusetts public education. Assuming inflation, over time the bill could provide an estimated $2.2 billion.

• Significantly helps school districts that serve high percentages of low-income students.

• Increases state investment in other vital education aid programs such as transportation, school buildings and special education to assist districts across the state.

• New investments are coupled with policy updates designed to monitor and measure progress, support effective approaches to closing opportunity gaps, and deliver results for all students.

Arts Center Gala Set for November 2

Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 2, when the Hopkinton Center for the Arts’ annual gala, “This is Me,” will offer a Boston-worthy experience close to home.

The HCA’s annual fundraiser will feature live music by Night Rhythm, one of the most in-demand party bands in Greater Boston, as well as food by MetroWest Catering, an open bar, a live auction and raffles. The array of prizes up for auction include a week’s stay for 4-6 at a Tuscan chateau, tickets to see Stephen Colbert’s late-night show, and tickets to the Broadway show Hadestown (winner of the Tony Award for musical of the year) with a stay in a New York hotel. A Magic Mirror photo booth will let guests depict themselves in fun settings and print and send pictures.

This year’s theme, based on a song from the hit stage musical “The Greatest Showman,” focuses on an especially timely message: self-acceptance and self-expression through the arts. Since the new center opened in 2015 the HCA has helped thousands of MetroWest-area residents, of all ages and abilities, discover the joys of artistic expression.

The fun takes place on Saturday, Nov. 2 from 7 to 11 p.m at the Delbridge Performing Arts Center at the HCA, 98 Hayden Rowe Street. Black and white attire is suggested. Tickets are $100 (or $600 for a group of 8) and are available at the HCA or through hopartscenter.org.
