#WORCESTER FOLKS: a word with you, if you would.

You may have seen @WRRBureau's recent "Broadening Broadband" report, found online here: wrrb.org/reports/2020/0…

The #WorcSchools Cmte sent this report to School and Student Performance (the subcommittee I chair) for further discussion, deliberation, and testimony, as internet access is such a key piece to education right now.

Here's where I could use your help!

We have invited @bytomquinn and @PaulFMatthews in to present the @WRRBureau report regarding municipal broadband, and then we are opening for public testimony regarding education and internet access.

Thursday, September 10
5:30 pm

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY! Public hearings only work if the public comes and speaks!
Testimony from students, families, teachers, staff, and others regarding internet access and access to K-12 public education in #Worcester is what we are seeking.

City Councilor @Wally4Worcester will be holding a parallel hearing regarding access more broadly a week later, on Thursday, September 17 also at 5:30 pm, should that be more relevant.
See worcesterma.gov/city-clerk/pub…

Please plan to attend and to testify, and please spread the word!

Oh, and there’s a FB event for those of you into such things:
