Earlier this year, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey’s administration issued a new statewide framework for high school graduation

We discuss the details of the new framework and how our local school districts will be implementing these changes. We also talk about some of the innovative programs and classes in our regional public schools and how districts use local organizations and resources to enrich the experience of their students.

With us:

Pedro Martinez, Commissioner of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Robert Sanborn, Superintendent at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in Harwich
Marc Smith, Superintendent at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District
Michele Connors, Superintendent at Mashpee Public School District
