BPS transports 22,000 students to 200+ schools each day. It's a complex system: 640 buses completing 1,500 runs in the AM and 1,500 in the PM, covering ~11k bus stops. Since investing in new tech & reforming its routing last fall, BPS is now running at 94% on-time. www.cbsnews.com/boston/video...

Madison Park is a gem within @bostonschools.boston.gov. Enrollment is up, attendance is up, and students are participating in industry-aligned coops at record numbers. Glad to see Madison & its incredible students get the recognition they deserve. www.dotnews.com/2025/madison...

I sound like a broken record on this, but @bostonschools.boston.gov's complete transformation of its food service operations in the last 3 years is nothing short of amazing. Take it from Mason, 4th grader at Ellison-Parks: "The food is delicious and, at the same time, healthy" youtu.be/2urvB9n_UQk

I’m a US citizen because of birthright citizenship. Immigrants & their kids have a special love for this country—as the home worth sacrificing everything to build. Shame on these illegal efforts to undermine our country’s values. TY @massago.bsky.social for leading the charge to take this on!
