Brookline Public Schools Enrollment Solution?
Brookline Public Schools in Brookline, MA have a major problem with increased enrollment. They are considering the traditional approach of asking voters in the spring to approve property tax increases that would be used to fund expansions of multiple schools to accommodate the increasing number of students. The Brookline School Committee is also taking a non-traditional approach to dealing with this major drag on town finances. Recently there was a proposed policy that would exclude homes straddling the town borders with Boston and Newton from sending their children to Brookline schools unless they pay taxes on at least 50% of the property to Brookline. Under the new proposal, residents of a home on the town line must also qualify to register to vote in Brookline based on its location. If they don’t, the household’s children would not be allowed to attend Brookline schools.
Pollard Middle School Testimonial – Needham, MA
Needham Parent Testimonial
“Y3K Tutor In Your Home has been a great support system for my son from elementary school through middle school. Helping him not only with the actual schoolwork but the organizational skills that it will take to be successful in school. My son looks forward to his sessions and plans out what he wants to work on so that he will get the maximum benefit. The tutor (who also happens to be the owner) is always willing to help him out in anything. He really knows my son. He also knows how to motivate and get my son back on task. The owner’s flexibility and support has really helped my son learn to enjoy school and not dread it. I would absolutely recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home for anyone looking for a tutor.”
