💲 Attended this morning's BIG CHECK ceremony at McKay Arts Academy presented to Fitchburg for Fitchburg Public Schools by Senator Dean A. Tran!
$4,337,244 additional funding from the State of Massachusetts Chapter 70 to Fitchburg! MUCH needed.
I spoke with Superintendent Jokela and he noted that much of that was accounted for in their budget... but that there is an additional $1M or so they will be able to use for school infrastructure and other academic needs as determined by the School Committee that was in attendance as was the Mayor.
Always proud to attend our events and support Fitchburg representing the city as a City Councilor 👍
