Walsh today announced Imagine Boston 2030's finalized suggested reading list, adding to the original list released in August. Members of the community voted on five additional books to complete both the adult and youth titles on the list. The Imagine Boston reading list offers residents the opportunity to learn more about the background on some of the history and concepts that are helping to inform conversations about the future of our city.

"This finalized reading list represents a wide range of issues and stories that are relevant to all Bostonians, and together we can use these books as tools in our efforts to make Boston the best it can be in 2030." After the release of the initial list, Boston residents of all ages were asked to vote on the final books to complete the adult and youth selection. Members of the community responded and voted on a finalized list that includes urban histories of cities like Boston, as well as explorations of concepts and theories that shape modern cities. The goal of this initiative is to utilize this shared reading experience to develop a broader discussion with the community on the task of building a more equitable and inclusive Boston by 2030. The final Imagine Boston 2030 Reading List is below, with the new additions in bold: Adult Reading List  "Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City" by Matthew Desmond  "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" by Jane Jacobs "Chain of Change: Struggles for Black Community Development" by Mel King "The Given Day" by Dennis Lehane "Common Ground" by J.

Each blog entry will highlight one book's relation to Boston and its ability to add value to the planning process. These blog postings will be coming soon and will be posted on Imagine Boston 2030'swebsite. Earlier this week, Mayor Walsh announced the launch of Imagine Boston 2030's new engagement team, who will visit community events in Boston neighborhoods to seek feedback from residents on refined strategies for guiding equitable growth through 2030. The Mayor's Office has partnered with the Boston Public Library to make the entire Imagine Boston reading list available to Boston residents. Residents are encouraged to stop by their nearest local branch to access these titles and pick up a bookmark. "Boston is a literary City and we hope that with this list, residents will not only read the books, but be encouraged to have conversations about the topics and ideas in the books, how they compare to Boston today, and how we, as a community can envision Boston in the future," said Natalia Urtubey, Director of Engagement for Imagine Boston 2030. "We hope that this list will serve as a tool to guide community conversations around the future of Boston, and energize people to participate in upcoming engagement activities."

Boston Public Schools Debut Interactive Model for Math Education, Launches Partnership with New Classrooms

Boston Public Schools Debut Interactive Model for Math Education, Launches Partnership with New Classrooms

Tech Boston Academy in Dorchester Pilots New Program, Supports District-Wide Plan to Personalize Learning

BOSTON, MA - Thursday, September 29, 2016 - Boston Public Schools Superintendent Tommy Chang today joined Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh, and School Committee Chairperson Michael O'Neill to announce a partnership with New Classrooms, a national nonprofit on a mission to personalize education by redesigning how a classroom works. New Classrooms brought its first school-based learning model, Teach to One: Math (TTO), to TechBoston Academy in Dorchester.   "Congratulations to Boston Public Schools' TechBoston Academy and New Classrooms on the formation of this new partnership," said Mayor Walsh. "Our top priority is to meet the diverse needs of every single student throughout our public schools. New Classrooms will be an innovative partner in this mission, and I look forward to students at TechBoston Academy benefiting from this personalized partnership model." This year, Tech Boston Academy's 360 middle school students are receiving customized daily schedules, curriculum and learning experiences to meet their individual math needs through the learning model. "The School Committee is appreciative of the outstanding partners of the Boston Public Schools," said Chairperson Michael O'Neill. "Math can be extremely challenging, and this unique, personalized learning model will ensure that each student is well prepared." The adoption of TTO is part of a district-wide effort to personalize learning after teachers noticed students were entering middle school with different foundational math skills. Teachers faced the challenge of providing students with varying lessons, learning approaches and timelines so they could learn additional skills while also moving forward through the curriculum. "To set our students up for future success, we needed to empower our teachers with the tools to make personalizing math a reality," said Superintendent Chang. "With Teach to One, our teachers have more collaboration time while students are engaging in challenging lessons that meet them at their level of understanding." TTO provides teachers with a curated bank of high-quality learning resources that match students' skill levels and address knowledge gaps. It assigns each student to one of nine instructional approaches, called modalities, daily based on the previous day's assessment. The model was found to deliver 1.5 years of learning in a school year. "Boston Public Schools is joining the many districts and schools around the country who see personalized learning as key to student acceleration," said New Classrooms CEO Joel Rose. "We're privileged to be working with and learning alongside Boston Public Schools to best support their unique school community at TechBoston Academy." This new model of personalization helps solve an important problem: almost two-thirds of U.S. eighth graders are off track in math when they enter high school.These students have a less than 20 percent chance of graduating high school ready for college. In the 2015-16 school year, 24 out of the 25 schools using TTO saw academic gains above the national average. In Boston, TTO's implementation is being funded by Boston Public Schools with support from the Barr Foundation and Strategic Grant Partners. "Teach to One reimagines the traditional classroom to create a more personalized approach to math instruction," said Leah Hamilton, Director of Education for the Barr Foundation. "When each child's experience is tailored to their unique academic needs and ways of learning, the results are remarkable. We are pleased to be able to help TTO bring its proven model to new schools in Massachusetts and New England, including Tech Boston Academy."

TREASURER DEB GOLDBERG ANNOUNCES COLLEGE SAVINGS PROGRAM IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS

Pilot Initiative to Take Place in the Town of Monson

MONSON, MA – State Treasurer Deb Goldberg, in collaboration with Monson Savings Bank, announced today a new college savings initiative. Expanding on the successful launch of the Worcester program just 40 miles northwest, $eedMA Monson looks to enroll the 2016-2017 class of kindergartners with 529 College Savings Accounts through Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority (MEFA).

“I am thrilled to see this important work expand to more communities across the Commonwealth,” said Treasurer Deb Goldberg. “Access to an affordable higher education is critical to ensuring the economic stability of Massachusetts families.”

$eedMA Monson will be available to all kindergarteners enrolled in Monson Public Schools. Each child will receive a commitment of $50 through Monson Savings Bank to cultivate a 529 college savings account at the start of the 2016-2017 school year.

“MEFA is pleased to be a partner in this initiative with Treasurer Goldberg, her team, and the town of Monson,” said Tom Graf, Executive Director of MEFA. “It is exciting to work with Monson families on creating a plan for saving for college.”

“I am thrilled that Monson Savings Bank has stepped forward to support this unique and vitally important initiative which will pay off huge dividends for the kindergarten students and families of Monson,” said Robert Bardwell, Director of School Counseling, Monson Public Schools. “$eedMA Monson gives our students a chance to save for college which will no doubt advantage them when they are ready to seek further education and training after high school. And to think Monson is only the second pilot in the state is exciting and a tremendous opportunity for our community.”

$eedMA Monson aims to increase the percentage of children saving for higher education by delivering high-quality financial education programming to students and their families, building a culture centered around saving for the future and employing prudent budget management. These accounts have been proven to boost postsecondary enrollment and graduation rates, which will result in higher paying jobs. Parents and families will receive more information about $eedMA Monson in the upcoming months through informational sessions administered by the Treasurer’s Office of Economic Empowerment.

“Monson Savings Bank is very pleased to be a part of this initiative and to be able to offer this opportunity to our Monson students. We are also proud to be the 2nd community in the state of MA to be participating in this program. We look forward to working with Quarry Hill Elementary School and eventually offering this pilot program to other school districts in our business area,” said Steve Lowell, President and CEO of Monson Savings Bank.

Treasurer Goldberg created the Office of Economic Empowerment (OEE), led by a deputy treasurer, with the deliberate goal of implementing a range of economic empowerment initiatives, including closing the gender wage gap, increasing access to financial education, improving college affordability, and investing in STEM careers and education.

Beacon Hill Leadership Moves To Rename Brookline Avenue Bridge In Honor Of David Ortiz

Beacon Hill Leadership Moves To Rename Brookline Avenue Bridge In Honor Of David Ortiz

Governor Baker, Senate President Rosenberg, Speaker DeLeo Propose Bridge Naming for the retiring Boston Red Sox legend

BOSTON – Massachusetts took the first official step toward naming a bridge in honor of legendary Red Sox player David Ortiz tonight.

As part of a joint-plan between the House, Senate and Governor’s office, the House Committee on Ways & Means Committee put language out to poll as part of a supplemental budget that would rename the Brookline Avenue bridge, between Lansdowne Street and Newbury Street, and spanning the Massachusetts Turnpike, the “David Ortiz (‘Big Papi’) Bridge.”

The legislation states the honor is “in recognition of his athletic accomplishments during fourteen seasons as a member of the Boston Red Sox, and his personal contributions to the Commonwealth, notably, his charitable commitment to children in New England and the Dominican Republic who do not have access to the critical pediatric services they need, and in helping our city heal in the face of the Boston Marathon bombing tragedy.”

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation will place a “suitable marker on the bridge bearing the designation in compliance with the standards of the department.”

“David Ortiz’s accomplishments and heroics on and off the baseball field have made him a living legend, and his heartfelt contributions to the communities here and in his native Dominican Republic have made him an icon,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “As a lifelong Red Sox fan, I am thrilled to be able to help our Commonwealth create a lasting ‘Thank You’ to Big Papi through the renaming of this bridge.”

 “I’m so excited to be part of this process of giving David Ortiz, one of the greatest Red Sox of all time, his proper due by naming a bridge in his honor,” House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo (D-Winthrop) said. “David has not only been an extraordinary baseball player, he has been an exemplary and inspirational member of our community, most notably after the Boston Marathon bombings. As a fan, I will miss his stride up to the plate followed by a clutch hit and the ballpark exploding into applause.”

“David Ortiz has been a big part of our community both on and off the field,” said Senate President Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst).  “Whether is it leading the Red Sox to multiple World Series Championships or all of his charitable work, he has truly been the pride of Boston.  I am proud that we can honor him by naming this bridge after him so his legacy can live on after his playing days have ended.”

 “David Ortiz has meant so much to the City of Boston, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and all of Red Sox Nation,” said Representative Brian S. Dempsey, House Chair of the Committee on Ways & Means (D-Haverhill).  “Whether it be his clutch curse breaking hits on the diamond, his now legendary speech to rally the spirits of this city in the aftermath of the Marathon Bombing, or his prodigious charity work, ‘Papi’ has left a lasting impact.  I am proud that we can recognize his efforts and wish him well as he ends his career with what we hope is another memorable playoff run.”

 “As a Red Sox fan, I’m proud that the Commonwealth is taking this step to recognize one of our athletic legends,” said Senator Karen E. Spilka, Senate Chair of the Committee on Ways & Means (D-Ashland). “David Ortiz is a major force in baseball, and he has also made significant contributions to our community over the course of his long career.”

Once the House Ways & Means Committee poll is completed, the House will act on the measure tomorrow. The legislation will then go to the Senate.

Boston, MA - Wednesday, September 28, 2016 - The Boston Public Schools celebrated over 60 students for the latest publication of the Teens in Print newspaper. The youth newspaper features 70 articles written by 31 Boston students. "In Boston, we are preparing the future leaders of tomorrow," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "Thank you to everyone who has played a role in WriteBoston's continued success." Teens in Print is Boston's only citywide newspaper for and by Boston youth, available online at www.bostontip.com. Through a generous partnership with The Boston Globe, the newspaper is printed and published five times a year. Twenty-thousand copies of each issue are distributed to high schools, libraries, and community centers across the city. "For 14 years, WriteBoston has been helping young people find their voice, and many students are stronger writers and leaders because of its success," said School Committee Chairperson Michael O'Neill. "The Committee is excited to learn of the many positive changes happening within WriteBoston to improve students' writing and help them communicate effectively - critical skills that will serve them well for life." The event welcomed teen writers from Boston Public Schools and local charter and parochial schools, youth artists from Artists for Humanity, Boston Public School staff and leadership, and special guests from The Boston Globe and the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority. "Boston Public Schools' students thrive when they are given supplementary opportunities, such as the experiences provided by Write Boston," said Superintendent Tommy Chang. "We're fortunate to have a graduate of BPS serving as the new WriteBoston Program Director. It is amazing to see students return as alumni and invest in the community that was so integral to their own personal growth and development. Congratulations to everyone involved." Attendees were treated to ice cream sundaes, an introduction to the recently re-designed Teens in Print website, and the premiere of three new videos produced by youth reporters from the Teens in Print summer program. Teens in Print also introduced a new Program Director, Carla Gualdron, a former participant of the program and a graduate of the Boston Public Schools. "As I embrace this role, I hope that my "TiPsters" find this year with me as enriching as I did when I was a student," said Gualdron, a graduate of Emerson College and former reporter for the Boston Herald and El Mundo. "My experience with Teens in Print made me realize that, even as a teenager, my voice was one that needed to be heard. It made me realize that it's okay to ask questions, to push the envelope, to explore, be curious, to want to know more about the world." To close the event, Lydia Ramos, Senior Advisor to Superintendent Tommy Chang, shared remarks on the importance of journalism for Boston youth and how her personal experience as a journalism student shaped her life. Free and open to any youth resident of Boston, the Teens in Print afterschool and summer program is funded by Linda Walsh and the Walsh family, Blue Hills Bank, the Boston Bruins Foundation, the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, the Summer Fund, and private donors. Teens in Print is supported through partnerships with the Boston Public Schools, The Boston Globe, Northeastern University's School of Journalism, Artists for Humanity, Boston Cares, and AmeriCorps*VISTA. The Teens in Print after school program is currently recruiting Boston high school students to join the afterschool program, which runs Monday and Wednesday afternoons on the campus of Northeastern.

鄭慧民報告中國超市租約審查結果

(Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導)紐英崙中華公所中國超市租約審查小組9月27日晚在董事大會中的報告，就簽署過程，內容，提出約8點質疑，指中華公所簽的合約和董事大會討論的合約，條款並不相同。公所現任主席陳家驊請當年簽署合約的前主席黃光野以書面回應作答，當場被拒。

梁永基(左)發言。

社區內議論此事者有人認為，合約審查小組認定黃光野當年未把合約草案最後版本先交給董事大會研議，再投票通過，就自行簽署，如果這一點可容許中華公所否決合約的有效性，要把喜露街50號改建成可負擔住宅的願景，或可提早實現。

在租約已簽情況下，中華公所若無廢止或修改租約理由，從現在起到2023年，甚至直到2028，2033年，要把喜露街50號改建成可負擔住宅，恐怕不太容易。

何遠光(右起)和黃光野。

紐英崙中華公所是2012年6月14日，離原約到期還有14個月時，由當年主席黃光野簽字，給了中國超市一紙20年長約，第一期10年，之後可再續10年。

根據中華公所七月份的董事大會會議記錄，公所現任英文書記朱蘇珊做物業小組報告時，指出中國超市的每月租金將按照排定漲幅，從8月1日起由25,240元漲為25,619元。董事黃光野質疑表示，租金漲幅似應為5%。

由於朱蘇珊回應，直到2023年才到期的這份租約，詳列每年租金應漲為多少的金額數目，但未註明漲幅百分比，大約等於1.5%，董事陳仕維因而要求查閱會議記錄與合約內容，以確認中華公所簽署的合約，內容和董事大會討論通過的一樣。

中華公所主席陳家驊於是指派了伍樂仁，鄭慧民，陳文浩等三名董事組成合約審查委員會，擔負起審查重任。

9月27日晚，合約審查小組委派鄭慧民代表，向董事大會報告了8點審查結果，也唸了得出審查結果的會議記錄段落。

審查結果的第一點，指黃光野在2012年3月份逼董事大會投票，忽視董事的簽約前審查合約最後版本要求。該要求其實也是黃光野自己在2012年1月份董事大會提出，並獲通過的簽約5步驟中最後一步。

第二點指中華公所董事以為中華公所可在租約期中的任何時候，給6個月通知，就要求中國超市搬走，但其實是只在合約進入第二期階段，也就是第二個10年的合約開始後，才可以只給6個月通知。

第三點指中國超市新合約是在原合約還有14個月才到期時就簽定了。

第四點是租約長達10年，從2013年8月1日到2023年7月日，每月租金24,500，每年遞增1.5%。

第五點，董事大會要求的每月租金是27,000元，不是24,500元。

第六點是，合約租金約為每平方呎19.6元，不在市價的每平方呎22元到27元之間。此外，兩個5年的續約權，居然只是每年漲租2%。

第七點是合約沒包括任何修繕要求。

第八點是得查到底有沒維修屋頂及車道，中華公所有沒核准驗收。

中華公所主席陳家驊指出，如果在當年由黃光野簽署的租約上，並未註明承租者必須斥資19萬5000元修繕所承租物業，恐怕現在也無法要求。

中華公所董事黃光野，梁永基在報告之後都做申訴。黃光野表示自己未強迫董事大會投票同意和中國超市續約。梁永基表示自己未誤導董事大會認為，任何時候只要給中國超市六個月通知，就可要收回喜露街50號。

               (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導)紐英崙中華公所主席陳家驊揚言，公所營運必須專業化，建議聘請專業會繼作帳，土地發展應考慮整體社區福祉，已邀其他社團及專業人士組成顧問委員會。

紐英崙中華公所9月27日晚召開本年度第五次董事大會，會議進行大致順利，主席及合約審查小組的報告，最受矚目。

陳文浩接任中華公所財政，直言資料交接不齊，還無法交出一份財政報告。(周菊子攝)

紐英崙中華公所主席陳家驊為這次的董事大會，準備了將近8頁報告，其中包括4頁交給麻州總檢察官辦公室的中華公所營運季度報告，儼然為中華公所營運的公開，透明，樹立範例。

陳家驊的主席報告主要有二項。第一項和喜露街50號未來發展有關，第二項和華埠的清潔，安全有關。

陳家驊說明他和梅伍銀寬，李錦堂，伍樂仁等人，和有興趣參與發展喜露街50號的 Arista公司代表Tom Yee，Trinity 金融公司代表 Jim Keefe晤談過。他自己又另外和Davis發展公司總裁 Brian Fallon，以及Winn發展公司， Beacon發展公司代表見過面。他表示，這些發展商都願意和中華公所合作，或者和中華公所及波士頓華人浸信會教堂(BCEC)三方合作，把中華頤養院舊址也包括進來的一起來發展喜露街50號，但最大障礙是中國超市的租約金額比市價低太多。

鄭慧民(立者)代表合約審查小組做報告。(周菊子攝)

在交給麻州總檢察官辦公室的季度報告中，陳家驊還說明了中華公所已聘請David Traggorth和Peter Munkenbeck做發展顧問，研究由中華公所自己來發展喜露街50號的可行性，方向有三，一為全部都是可負擔住宅的大樓，一為綜合收入及綜合用途大樓，一為與營利發展商合作。

紐英崙中華公所2016年度第五次董事大會現場。(周菊子攝)

中華公所在五月份的董事大會中，成立了發展喜露街50號顧問委員會，在中華公所物業小組的9人成員之外，另外邀請了亞美社區發展協會(ACDC)行政主任劉安琪，華人經濟發展協會(CEDC)主席蔣宗壬，1983年時代表華埠信託及住宅工作小組，參加中華公所協商團隊的建築師鄭繼良，以及波士頓消防局副局長黃瑞瑜等人加入。

陳家驊也在交給總檢察官辦公室的季度報告中說明，中華公所將在今後五年，攤還2百21萬2.720元，給儲備建造可負擔住宅經費的SCM大樓戶口。

陳家驊的另一半主席報告，主要說明中華公所和華美福利會的陳美霞，阮陳金鳳，以及華商會的陳文棟，余麗媖等人攜手，和波士頓市政府公共工程局合作，改善華埠清潔，重鋪路面，修繕路燈等。華埠治安巡邏隊將和波士頓警察局合作，在華埠內的13個地點，安裝共27個監視錄像器。估計費用最高七萬元，將要求華埠慈善信託基金從中華公所的欠債金額中扣減這筆款項。

中華公所本屆原任財政黃立輝由於私人事務繁忙，無暇兼顧，已於七月請辭。獲推選接任的董事陳文浩表示，由於資料交接還不齊備，當晚無法交出一份財政報告給中華公所董事大會。

中華公所主席陳家驊指出，中華公所今年換了一家稽核公司，Daniel Dennis & Company，這才發現中華公所過去記錄往來帳目時，有許多作法不符專業會計規定。他認為中華公所現在是個擁有2000餘萬元資產，每年營運費用逾100萬元的機構，處理事務應該專業化。他建議聘請專業會計來為中華公所做帳。(9月29日更新標題)
