Boston’s investment in summer learning converts into high participation this year

State and local education officials in Massachusetts are betting big on summer learning. Given the pandemic’s alarming academic and emotional effects on students, they argue, the school year can’t stop in June.

And this past summer in Boston reflected that effort. The state’s largest school district invested $4 million in their programs, matched with $900,000 from the state and over half a million dollars from private philanthropy.
