AG HEALEY, ROBERT KRAFT ANNOUNCE EXPANSION OF GAME CHANGE ANTI-VIOLENCE PROGRAM INTO MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND ADDITIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS

To Date, Game Change Has Trained More Than 1,000 Students, Teachers, Coaches, and Service Providers; Schools Across Massachusetts Encouraged to Apply

BOSTON – Attorney General Maura Healey and Chairman and CEO of the New England Patriots Robert Kraft today announced that they will be sponsoring a third year of the groundbreaking anti-violence education program they launched in 2015. Beginning this fall, Game Change: The Patriots Anti-Violence Partnership will expand to middle schools and additional high schools across Massachusetts, training students and staff in strategies to prevent sexual assault and domestic violence.

            “We know from the young people we’ve met and the leadership they’ve shown across this state that there’s no better way to break cycles of violence than to educate students about healthy relationships,” said AG Healey. “I’m thrilled to work with the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation to expand to additional high schools and middle schools and empower students to create positive change in their communities.”

“Building a strong team begins with a strong development program, and that’s what we’re doing with Game Change,” said Mr. Kraft. “We need to provide young people with the tools to end sexual assault and domestic violence. The Patriots and the Kraft family are proud to work with the Attorney General to continue supporting this critical program to do just that.”

The goal of Game Change is to implement long-term anti-violence and healthy relationship education in Massachusetts schools, with a focus on developing peer leaders at the high school level who can provide trainings to their middle school counterparts.

Proposals for this new round of Game Change will be open to public high schools, with a preference given to those who submit with a middle school partner. Schools can apply for one of two awards: a training for teachers and coaches, or a training for students. Awardees will also receive a grant to support long-term implementation of the curriculum. 

Awards will fund healthy relationship and violence prevention education from Aug. 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. Interested schools and school districts in Massachusetts are encouraged to learn more about the program and to submit a proposal at www.mass.gov/ago/gamechange.Proposals must be received by 4 p.m. on Friday, June 16, 2017.

During the first phase of Game Change, which ran from January through May 2016, nearly 200 staff from 90 high schools and nine domestic violence organizations across the state were trained in the MVP curriculum. For the program’s second phase, which ran throughout the 2016-2017 school year, staff from Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) provided direct trainings on preventing relationship violence to  students at each of the 34 participating high schools across the state.

            To date, Game Change has trained more than 1,000 students, teachers, coaches, and service providers in the MVP curriculum. Student leaders representing nearly 100 communities across Massachusetts are now equipped to intervene when they witness signs of violence and to help other young people do the same.

Run by the Center for the Study of Sport in Society at Northeastern University, the MVP trainings give participants the skills to recognize the dynamics of power and control that can lead to relationship and gender-based violence. Trained students, teachers, and coaches learn how to recognize the signs of an unhealthy relationship and when to intervene, or reach out for help.

BOSTON - Monday, May 22, 2017 - Mayor Martin J.

This family-friendly event is free and open to the public and will take place between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Boston-born disco legend Donna Summer was a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a five-time Grammy winner, and sold over 140 million records worldwide. She was born in Dorchester and was raised in Mission Hill before rising to stardom in the 1970s. She passed away at the age of 62 years old on May 17, 2012. This annual event honors her life and celebrates her music and legacy in Boston. "The Donna Summer Roller Disco Party kicks off summer at City Hall Plaza, and I'm pleased we're bringing back this celebration for the fourth consecutive year," said Mayor Walsh. "We provide fun, free, family events throughout the year, and this event is one of our most anticipated. I look forward to welcoming residents and visitors to City Hall Plaza next month." Celebration of Summer IV will feature: A performance by Donna Summer's sister, Mary Gaines Bernard; Music provided by New England's Finest DJ Roy Barboza; An appearance by Donna Summer's nephew O'Mega Red, and Appearances by other members of Donna Summer's family. "Donna Summer was not only a Bostonian through and through -- her music, spirit, and presence made her a national treasure and global icon," said event organizer Frankie Stavrianopoulos of Urban Legend Events. "It is only fitting that we celebrate her, in our world class city during the season that bares her namesake in a fun uplifting and musical manner." "I am so happy to be with you this year as we celebrate my sister for the 2017 Donna Summer Disco Party," said Mary Gaines Bernard. "We're going to have so much fun and make many new memories. Remember to save the 'last dance' for me. I'll meet you under the disco ball!" In addition to music, City Hall Plaza will feature a roller-skating rink. If attendees don't have their own skates, the City of Boston will be providing free rentals on a first-come, first-serve basis. More information about the event can be found on boston.gov.

AG HEALEY LEADS BIPARTISAN GROUP OF 32 ATTORNEYS GENERAL URGING CONGRESS TO OPPOSE ELIMINATION OF FUNDING FOR LEGAL SERVICES

AG HEALEY LEADS BIPARTISAN GROUP OF 32 ATTORNEYS GENERAL URGING CONGRESS TO OPPOSE ELIMINATION OF FUNDING FOR LEGAL SERVICES

BOSTON – Highlighting the need for legal services in rural and low-income communities across the country, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey and Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman today led a bipartisan group of 32 attorneys general in urging Congress to oppose the Trump Administration’s proposal to eliminate federal funding for the Legal Services Corporation (LSC).

“Legal services provide an essential safety net for millions of our most vulnerable residents, including veterans applying for benefits and families escaping domestic violence,” said AG Healey. “We have to come together because we cannot turn our backs on families in need of assistance. We have organized this broad, bipartisan group to fight for access to justice for all Americans.”

“Our state attorneys general know that all Americans, rich and poor, should be treated equally under the law,” said Martha Minow, Vice Chair of the Legal Services Corporation and Dean of Harvard Law School. “That’s why, on a bipartisan basis, our chief law enforcement officers overwhelmingly support the Legal Services Corporation. They call for funding legal assistance to low-income and rural Americans, as Congress has done for more than forty years, in order to strengthen the rule of law, fairness, and human dignity. I thank Attorneys General Maura Healey, Cynthia Coffman, George Jepsen, and all 32 state AGs from across the United States who came together to make this strong, bipartisan statement of support for LSC.”

            The letter, sent today to the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committees, notes that for more than 40 years, under Republican and Democratic administrations, the LSC has helped residents across the nation to access justice.

LSC funding helps veterans and military families secure important benefits, it supports survivors of domestic violence seeking safety, and it assists families facing foreclosure and victims of natural disasters.

LSC funding also fosters longstanding public-private partnerships between legal aid organizations and private firms and attorneys nationwide who donate their time and skills to assist low-income residents in our states.

The letter was signed by the Attorneys General of Massachusetts, Alaska, American Samoa, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia and Washington.

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES CONTINUATION OF RACE DIALOGUES WITH PARTNERSHIP OF HYAMS FOUNDATION

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES CONTINUATION OF RACE DIALOGUES WITH PARTNERSHIP OF HYAMS FOUNDATION

City-wide initiative to bring together business, government, education and community leaders to create an action plan for addressing racism

BOSTON - Monday, May 22, 2017 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced a partnership with the Hyams Foundation to launch a series of race dialogues in Boston neighborhoods, as a continuation of the work started to acknowledge systemic racism and work toward racial equity. The Hyams Foundation is a private, independent foundation dedicated to achieving economic, racial and social justice in Boston and Chelsea. Through this partnership, Hyams will lead efforts to engage local organizations, businesses, agencies and communities in a wide range of dialogues, programs and projects related to racial justice and equity across the Greater Boston community. "I am grateful to the Hyams Foundation for their partnership in the effort to bring these important conversations to every neighborhood in Boston," said Mayor Walsh. "When we hosted the first citywide race dialogue last November, we saw there was great interest for these conversations to take place, and also saw the healing power that comes with being open and honest about racism. As we continue our work in the city to close persistent racial gaps, I hope all residents will consider stepping forward to get involved in the conversation and help move us closer to racial equity." "Boston is at a key moment: with increased economic development, a growing population that is becoming more diverse, and a new city-wide strategic plan, a huge opportunity exists to ensure all Bostonians are able to contribute to the city's vitality and growth," said Hyams Executive Director Dr. Jocelyn V. Sargent.  "We've seen dialogues around race happening locally and nationally over the last few years, but we've seen little progress in transforming these dialogues into action. It's time for us to walk the talk." From June to December, each of Boston's neighborhoods, will hold a facilitated discussion on race, open to all Boston residents. Facilitators will be trained by experienced consultants, and will be provided with a common framework for conducting these dialogues. In addition, Hyams will serve as a resource for other sectors as they develop action plans and benchmarks to achieve racial equity. It is the hope that the launch of the neighborhood dialogues on racism will inspire community-based groups, philanthropic institutions, businesses, academic institutions, the health-care sector, faith-based organizations, youth groups, mass and social media who have made commitments to working across their fields to realize racial equity in Boston. Boston's focus on issues of racism and racial equity is linked with its membership in the 100 Resilient Cities Network (100RC), a project of the Rockefeller Foundation, which the City joined in December 2014. Through its partnership with 100RC, the City has hired its first Chief Resilience Officer, Dr. Atiya Martin, and formed the Mayor's Office of Resilience and Racial Equity. In November 2016, as part of that office's work, the City hosted "Boston Talks About Racism," a public forum attended by over 600 residents, which served as the kick-off to a citywide conversation about racism. As part of the event, Mayor Walsh released  "The Blueprint: A Preview of the Principles and Framework for Boston's Resilience Strategy," a report outlining how racial equity lies at the heart of the forthcoming Resilience Strategy.

Governor Baker and Boston Mayor Walsh Announce Expanded Early College Program

Governor Baker and Boston Mayor Walsh Announce Expanded Early College Program

Expansion of dual enrollment program between John D. O’Bryant Math and Science High School and Massachusetts Maritime Academy guarantees admission; financial aid.

BOSTON – Governor Charlie Baker and Mayor Martin J. Walsh today joined Massachusetts Maritime Academy and Boston Public School officials to announce the expansion of a dual enrollment program that will guarantee admission to the maritime college. College officials also pledged to fully-fund financial aid needs for qualified students from the John D. O’Bryant High School who are enrolled in the partnership program and admitted to the Academy.

The announcement comes as part of the Baker-Polito Administration’s ongoing education series, as state officials are highlighting various education programs, initiatives and funding opportunities from early education to college level, all aimed at providing a quality and affordable education for every student in the Commonwealth.

“Exposing Massachusetts students to college-level courses while they are in high school will create more opportunities for them and improve their overall educational experience,” Governor Charlie Baker said. “The expanded partnership between Mass Maritime and the John D. O’Bryant will strengthen both schools and all students involved and could serve as a model for similar programs across the Commonwealth.”

“We are very pleased that Mass Maritime Academy and the City of Boston launched this innovative partnership to expose Boston Public School students to STEM college courses before they graduate from high school,” Lt. Governor Karyn Polito said. “Encouraging more students to pursue studying STEM subjects through programs like this will ultimately lead to an even stronger Commonwealth.”

“The City of Boston and Mass Maritime have a long, historic relationship that has grown even stronger with this partnership that brings more opportunities to our students," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “We’re focused on providing Boston Public School students the education and resources that will lead to successful, rewarding careers, and I’m proud this partnership will allow graduates to bring their unique strengths to Mass Maritime.”

Mass Maritime Academy and the John D. O’Bryant High School first launched dual enrollment courses in the fall of 2015, aided by a $30,000-a-year state dual enrollment grant. Academy faculty travel to the high school in Roxbury once a week to teach classes in coastal navigation, emergency management, and introduction to engineering. Students can earn up to 12 college credits, and receive mentoring and college counseling. They are also eligible for scholarships to attend the Academy’s summer academic camps, Sea, Science and Leadership.

Since the program’s inception, nearly 100 students have completed at least one dual enrollment course. School officials hope to greatly increase that number with the expanded partnership.

Mass Maritime was recently ranked #3 in the nation in a list of “best value” colleges – looking at tuition and fees versus the average starting salary, according to a recent ranking by SmartAsset.com Mass Maritime made the list for having an average starting salary for graduates of $58,900 and in-state tuition costs at $7,127.

“Successful dual enrollment and early college programs make college more accessible to low-income students by giving them opportunities to earn college credits while still in high school, at no cost to them, which could help ease the financial burden for them later,” Education Secretary James Peyser said. “Dual enrollment also exposes students to career pathways they may not have thought about before.” 

“One of the most exciting aspects of this partnership is its potential to impact Boston students and their families. The college counseling, mentoring, experience with college-level courses in STEM subjects is extremely valuable, particularly for some first-generation college-goers,” Massachusetts Maritime Academy Rear Admiral Francis McDonald said. “We launched this program, with help from the state, because we wanted to impact students’ lives. By expanding this opportunity we hope to make an even bigger impact on more students.”

“I want to congratulate Admiral MacDonald and the staff of Mass Maritime for building this partnership with the John D. O’Bryant,” Carlos E. Santiago, Commissioner of Higher Education, said. “This is exactly the kind of engagement that closes opportunity gaps and demonstrates that our public campuses are committed to their primary mission of serving the students of our state and providing employers with the high-skilled talent they need.”

“This is a great example of how a thoughtful partnership can benefit our students,”said Boston Public Schools (BPS) Superintendent Tommy Chang. “This partnership truly breaks down barriers to success by providing students hands-on career readiness skills for college credit, and eliminating a financial burden for families. We look forward to growing this partnership and are grateful for the support of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.”

The Baker-Polito Administration has proposed increasing spending on all K-12 schools by more than $318 million dollars since taking office in 2015. In March, Governor Baker announced a commitment to significantly increase the number of students in designated early college programs across the state over the next five to 10 years. Successful Early College programs make college more accessible to low-income students, and give them the opportunity to learn in college-level courses while at the same time earning college credits, at no cost, which helps ease financial burdens later. Earlier this year, after years of nominal increases for providers, Governor Baker proposed a 6% rate increase for early education providers, worth more than $28 million dollars, and includes plans to increase annual support for infant and toddler providers by more than $9 million. Massachusetts was recently ranked #1 in the country for education by U.S. News and World Report, and also tops the list for best performing states on Advanced Placement Exams.
