MaldenCORE charts a path toward racial equity By Barbara Taormina M embers of a volunteer group committed to promoting racial equity and inclusion in Malden were at the City Council meeting this week with a powerful but troubling presentation of their organization and its work. Bridget Mutebi, Rachel Sorlien and Erga Pierrette spoke about the history of Malden Community Organizing for Racial Equity (MaldenCORE) and the group’s mission and specific strategies to confront racism and systemic bias, particularly within the city’s school district.

But the Malden Redevelopment Authority’s rehabilitation plan calls for a synthetic turf fi eld which is ineligible for community preservation funding. The $610,000 turf fi eld, which has triggered vocal opposition among some Salemwood School families, teachers and neighbors, will be paid for with a donation from a private foundation. “The Malden CPC worked hard to vet all applications, we asked the hard questions and recommended projects that will benefi t the community,” said CPC Chair Julianne Orsino, who was at the Finance Committee meeting. “I'm happy that the City Council came to the same conclusion and accepted all of our recommendations.” The loan that the Finance Committee voted to support this week was for site work, a drainage system, fences, dugouts, benches, an outdoor classroom for Salemwood students and other park improvements not related to the synthetic turf. But the discussion among the Finance Committee focused on the artificial fi eld. Stephen O’Neill, the city’s engineering consultant for the project, explained that the site, grading, condition of the fi eld, the current use and the expected future use make Roosevelt Park a candidate for synthetic turf. “After considering all those factors … the most effective way to rehabilitate the fi eld would be with a synthetic turf fi eld system with crumb rubber and sand fi ll,” he said. Patrick Maguire, a landscape architect with extensive experience with synthetic turf who is advising the city on the turf option, addressed the health and safety concerns raised by residents who worry about exposing kids, particularly younger kids at Salemwood, to crumb rubber fill made from recycled tires. Maguire gave detailed descriptions of some of the research done on the eff ects of exposure to crumb rubber and stressed that there are “zero scientific peer-reviewed studies” that have found a health risk from synthetic turf. But turf opponents have said the research has been limited and results from a multiyear study on crumb rubber spearheaded by the Environmental Protection Agency and the REHABILITATE | SEE PAGE 9 Our 80th Year EDUCATION Next Classes DRIVER 2 Week Night Classes One Week Day Class CALL - ENROLL or Register Online 617-387-9121 HENRYSAUTOSCHOOL.COM AUTO SCHOOL E EVERETT A “Successful Key To Driving” Since 1938 Gift Certificates Available

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 31, 2019 Page 3 ARTLine brings new energy to city streetscapes By Barbara Taormina M alden’s ARTLine is gearing up to unveil a new round of public art and pocket parks throughout the city. Malden Arts Vice President Candace Julyan was at this week’s City Council meeting to deliver an update on the latest projects along the city’s ARTLine, an outdoor art gallery of murals and sculpture along the Northern Strand Community Trail. Julyan said that thanks to private donations, a said Julyan, adding that even among that crowd, Malesky and his work stood out. Malesky sent photos of a couple of his cyclist sculptures, and ARTLine members agreed bicycles was a great idea for the organization’s fi rst piece of sculpture. “He’s creating a sculpture just for us,” said Julyan. Landscape architect Clay Larsen, the project manager for Malden’s Bike to the Sea organization – which has spent decades developing and promoting the Northern Strand reputation as a destination for art afi cionados. The last piece of ARTLine news that Julyan shared this week focused on a mural planned for the back of 110 Pleasant St. Created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the song “Spirit in the Sky,” which was written by Malden native Norman Greenbaum, the mural will depict a large, multicultural hand unfurling a strip of rainbow skyward. Julyan said that for the next phase of ARTLine, organizers hope to tap a more diverse group of local artists to create murals and sculptures for the Northern Strand Community Trail. However, she added that the fi rst group of projects were chosen to showcase some of the city’s most famous artists. City Councillors took turns Joe Malesky, a former machinist who is now a metal sculptor, is creating a new version of his cyclist-themed works for ARTLine’s pocket park on Canal Street. (Advocate Photo by Barbara Taormina) $27,000 matching grant from MassDevelopment, a $25,000 state budget amendment to support the ARTLine courtesy of State Senator Jason Lewis and $40,000 from the city’s Community Preservation fund, Malden Arts now has $100,000 to move the ARTLine forward. The fi rst of a series of upcoming ARTLine events is scheduled for June 20 when Malden Arts members will unveil a new pocket park on Canal Street across from Cambridge Health Alliance. Julyan said the Canal Street site will feature one of three benches created for ARTLine by California-based designer and sculptor Colin Selig, who turns old propane tanks into inviting street furniture. “He calls it upcycling instead of recycling,” said Julyan, adding that the benches are 99 percent reused material. Canal Street will also have a piece of sculpture depicting a group of cyclists created by Missouri-based machinist-turned-sculptor Joe Malesky. “We put out a call to artists for proposals and we received 120 responses from artists all over the U.S. and Canada,” Community Trail – will contribute the third element to the Canal Street pocket park: a “River of Ties” mural comprised of freestanding panels that tells the story of the Malden River’s herring run. ARTLine will unveil another pocket park on Ferry Street late this summer. “We found someone who creates bike racks that are zip codes,” said Julyan, adding that Malden can expect to soon see a 02148 bike rack on Ferry Street. The park will also feature another upcycled bench by Selig and another section of Larsen’s River of Ties mural that celebrates Malden’s railroad history. A zip code bike rack and a Selig bench will also be installed in a pocket park in Linden Square along with an unannounced sculpture. Julyan also announced that painter, sculptor and printmaker Frank Stella, who is also a native of Malden, has agreed to create a mural for the hockey rink on Eastern Avenue. Stella, who has an international reputation as a leading fi gure of 20th -century American art, should add plenty to ARTLine’s For great advertising rates: JMitchell@advocatenews.net thanking members of Malden Arts and praising ARTLine. “It’s so important to bring this vibrancy to the city,” said Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy, who added that ARTLine projects are highlighting hidden pieces of the city’s past for the community. “It’s very exciting, very colorful and it brings life to diff erent parts of the city,” said Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe. “The ARTLine is also bringing the community together.” Ward 6 Councillor David Camell also felt that public art and particularly ARTLine has the power to unite people by solidifying the community’s collective vision of their city. “And that creates a new big bang for what’s going to come in the future,” he said.

Page 4 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 31, 2019 Community hike set to celebrate city’s scientifi c heritage By Barbara Taormina M alden once played a part in the science of geodesy, and residents, volunteers, city and state offi cials and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are teaming up to celebrate and preserve the story of the city’s role in that history. And everyone is invited to join in. This Sunday, June 2, there will be a guided hike back in time to the MIT Geodetic Observatory located on a high point in Malden within the Middlesex Fells. MIT built the small stone observatory in 1899 for study and research in geodesy, the science of understanding and measuring the geometric shape of the earth, its orientation in space and its gravity fi eld. In its heyday, the observatory was a state-of-theart fi eld laboratory equipped with advanced latitude, astronomical and magnetic equipment, such as a transit instrument telescope, chronograph and magnetometer. In 1899, MIT Professor George L. Hosmer wrote, “The observatory is intended primarily to be used in giving instruction in the most refi ned methods of determining latitude and longitude and secondarily to be used in magnetic and gravity observations.” Work done at the observatory contributed advances to 20th -century surveying methods. When cities and towns began to grow, planners mapping out the expansion of communities used information gathered at sites like the MIT Geodetic Observatory to keep track of locations of things and distances in-between.

The Malden Observatory was abandoned and forgotten until Malden resident Brian DeLacey decided to investigate what was behind an old red sign near a parking lot on Fellsway East that read “1899 MIT Observatory Rock Circuit Trail.” DeLacey and fellow hiker and GPS enthusiast Bill Ricker dug into old records, maps and MIT history for information about the observatory. After plenThe foundation of the MIT Geodetic Observatory sits at the top of a high point in the Middlesex Fells near Malden’s northern border. ty of research and several unsuccessful hikes in the Fells in search of the observatory, they fi nally found the stone foundation of the building about a half mile from one of the Fells parking lots. “It’s a beautiful site,” said DeLacey. “You can see the remnants of the foundation of the geodetic observatory.” The guided hike to the MIT Observatory begins at 9 a.m. Hikers will meet at the Flynn Rink parking lot at 300 Elm St. in Medford. Although the roughly 45-minute hike involves some climbing, it is appropriate for a wide range of ages and abilities. At the site, participants will have a chance to share comments, conversation and questions about the Observatory and the work that was done there. Participants are also invited to volunteer to help clean up the site, paint and restore the interpretative sign, replace broken plexiglass and mount new signs with information about the observatory’s historic and scientifi c signifi cance. For anyone interested, the hike is an opportunity to experience what it was like for scientifi c researchers at the start of the 20th century and a chance to help preserve a unique piece of Malden’s history. 20%OFF SALE Tues.-Sat. • June 4 - 8 5 DAYS ONLY STOREWIDE!

The House then passed the bill, 155-2. “There is no denying that cell phone use behind the wheel contributes to distracted driving,” said Donato. “The implementation of laws banning hands-on phones behind the wheel appears to have a positive impact.” “Distracted driving is a factor in too many dangerous and fatal motor vehicle accidents, and the House is proud to take this step to move this policy forWinthrop).

The city is looking at organic materials that are used as alternatives to crumb rubber, but those types of fi ll cost more and are said to have performance issues. Coaches, athletes and turf supporters downplay reports about elevated temperatures on synthetic grass and turf-related injuries, such as turf burn and turf toe. They focus instead on the major benefi t of artifi cial turf: unlimited practice and play on a fi eld that has no downtime due to rain or overuse. As for the price, Maguire said that over a 10-year period the cost of installing and maintaining a synthetic turf fi eld is similar to the cost of a natural grass fi eld. “I think the benefi t to the city is the cost per use number and how much more you’re going to be able to use a synthetic fi eld,” said Maguire, adding the cost is comparable for a synthetic fi eld you can use thousands of times and a natural grass fi eld that is used a couple hundred times. The Finance Committee’s recommendation to approve the $1.45 million bonding request for the Roosevelt Park project will now head to the full City Council where, to make it offi cial, two-thirds of the members must approve it. www.marinaatthewharf.com 543 North Shore Rd.

To round out the speakers, three young men spoke about their journey through the disease and into recovery. Colin, Dan and Ronnie spoke about the devastating disease of addiction, the impacts on their family, their relationships and their lack of desire to live. The words of these brave men clearly aff ected the crowd in an emotional way. Dana then introduced the main attraction, Dave Russo and friends. Dave got the laughter started and he was followed by six other wonderfully funny comedians. There was lots of laughter and friendship that followed.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 31, 2019 EQUITY | FROM PAGE 1 ty N’ Unity Forum, a series of public conversations held to promote cohesion within the city’s racially and culturally diverse community. MaldenCORE has hosted a training on recognizing and undoing racism and bias, has supported multicultural community events and has been sponsoring a monthly dialog at the Senior Center about equity and inclusion. While the group works to promote racial equity and inclusion throughout the community, MaldenCORE is focusing on the school district as a key area to unravel the roots of racism. “We want to prioritize ongoing antiracism and multicultural competency for all educators in the district,” said Sorlien. “Our students deserve to have teachers and staff that understand the impact of systemic racism and the importance of unlearning one’s own personal biases.” Pierrette, a school adjustment counselor at Salemwood School, said that members of the group have heard reports of instances involving racial bias that have caused harm to both students and staff . “We have asked the school district to clarify a process that staff members can follow if they want to report an incident of bias that follows along the lines of diversity, equity or inclusion,” she said, adding that there’s no way for staff and families to report such incidents to school administrators. “We want to work with the school district and the teachers’ union to support the brave individuals who risk their jobs to report incidents of racism,” she added. Mutebi focused on the need to diversify the teaching and administrative staff in city schools. “We support the school district to prioritize staffi ng that is ethnically and culturally representative of our student body,” she said. “We would like to see the district set and achieve measurable goals around hiring and retaining staff of color so that our students can see themselves on their mentors and educators.” According to the latest fi gures from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, more than 19 percent of the students in city schools are African American, but only 34 teachers, or 4.2 percent of the full-time teaching staff , are black. Asian students account for more than 23 percent of the city’s students, while only 27 teachers, or 3.3 percent of the district’s educators, are Asian. Nearly 25 percent of Malden students are Hispanic, compared to only 2.7 percent, or 22 Hispanic teachers. This year, 28.4 percent of the students in Malden are white while nearly 89 percent, or 715 teachers, are white. Councillors recognized the need for MaldenCORE and off ered their support for the group and its mission. “You are doing yeomen’s work that needs to be done in our community,” said Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley, who mentioned a swastika that was recently found drawn in chalk on the side of a dugout at Maplewood Park and some anti-immigrant graffi ti spotted downtown. “These things are happening in our community and they need to be addressed,” he said. Councillor-at-Large Stephen Winslow praised MaldenCORE’s goals and the group’s eff orts to take action and work toward inclusion. “We need to be doing more than just talking about multiculturalism,” said Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson. “We need to make an eff ort to have goals and recognize that society suff ers from past discrimination.” Anderson said the city is falling short in having people of color in leadership positions. Except for Anderson, Malden’s City Council, School Committee and the mayor and his staff are white, as are most city department heads and chairs of the city’s boards and commissions. Anderson asked fellow councillors to help turn the tide toward a more inclusive city government. “Voices of overcoming bias are more acceptable and more powerful when they are white voices,” he said. “We need you to be forceful in your condemnation of the bias that takes place.” WE WORK FOR YOU! * Have your car repaired by * An I-CAR GOLD CLASS SHOP for 1605 North Shore Road, Revere * 781-284-1200 Visit us at: www.AtlasAutobody.com or call (781) 284-1200 to schedule your appointment today!

Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 31, 2019 AMERICAN LEGION POST 69 OBSERVES MEMORIAL DAY M onday marked the observance of Memorial Day The meaning of this sacred day has faded over time. Instead of being a time to honor our fallen armed forces, Memorial Day has be come the unofficial start of summer: a day replete with shopping and barb-ques. The many pressures of everyday life bear some responsibility for our lack of appropriate observation. All too often our busy lives cause us to forget the men and women of the armed forces who put their lives on the line for the cause of freedom. Despite its lost meaning, Memorial Day remains signifi cant. It enables us to pay homage to the courageous men and women of the armed forces who put their lives at risk to protect us. When they were called to serve our nation these men and women did so despite the interruptions it caused in their own lives. We witnessed their bravery and courage in the confl icts that took place in Concord, New Orleans, the Alamo, Gettysburg, the Ardennes Forest, Iwo Jima, Normandy, Inchon, Saigon, Fallujah, Kandahar, Syria, and many other places too numerous to mention. In his last Memorial Day message, President John F. Kennedy said: “On this day we should invoke the blessings of God on those who have died in the defense of our country and by praying for a new world order of law where peace and justice shall prevail, and a life of opportunity shall be assured for all”. On Memorial Day 2019, Malden American Legion Post 69 remembers and honors its many members that served in our armed forces, and all the veterans laid to rest here and in lands far from home. Post 69 also pays special tribute to our soldiers and sailors who fought on the beaches of Normandy 75 years ago on DDay. Four thousand soldiers and sailors sacrifi ced their lives that day for freedom’s sake. We also send our prayers to all those currently serving. May they come home soon.

The student-focused event featured presentations by current senior members of NHS as well as juniors and sophomores, who took the pledge to stand for the organization’s four pillars of scholarship, leadership, service and character. In addition, several colleges annually recognize outstanding juniors with a presentation of a book that is particularly meaningful to said institution in some way. The colleges and universities that presented books were as follows: Boston College, Le Moyne College, Harvard University, St. Michael’s College, Suffolk University, Wellesley College, Wesleyan University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Yale University. Current MVRCS faculty Martin Boyle and Michael McCarthy distributed the books for their respective alma maters. Under the direction of faculty advisers Casey McKee and Colleen Reynolds, a new set of offi cers was introduced. The crescendo of the event came towards the end as parents of incoming inductees proudly placed the NHS sash on their sons and daughters. Following the family presentations, which were led by NHS historian Michaela Correale (’19), the newcomers took the pledge and offi cially became part of the prestigious society.

My 77-year-old mother loves to work in the garden but over the past few years has been plagued by injuries. Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, Aches, pains and injuries are not uncommon among older gardeners. Because gardening is such a physical activity that often requires a lot of bending and stooping, squatting and kneeling, gripping and lifting, it can be extremely taxing on an aging body. Back pain and knee injuries are most common among older gardeners, along with carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow. To help keep your mom injury-free this summer, here are some tips and gardening equipment ideas that can make gardening a little easier. Warm Up With gardening, good form is very important as well as not overdoing any one activity. A common problem is that gardeners often kneel or squat, putting extra pressure on their knees. Then, to spare their knees, they might stand and bend over for long stretches to weed, dig and plant, straining their back and spine. To help your mom protect her body, she needs to warm up before beginning. Start by stretching, focusing on the legs and lower back. And keep changing positions and activities. Don’t spend hours weeding a fl owerbed. After 15 minutes of weeding, she should stand up, stretch, and switch to another activity like pruning the bushes or just take a break. It’s also important that she Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma recognizes her physical limitations and doesn’t try to do too much all at once. And, when lifting heaver objects, she needs to remember to use her legs to preserve her back. She can do this by keeping the item close to her body and squatting to keep her back as vertical as possible. Laborsaving Tools The right gardening equipment can help too. Kneeling pads can protect knees, and garden seats or stools are both back and knee savers. Lightweight garden carts can make hauling bags of mulch, dirt, plants or other heavy objects much easier. And long-handled gardening tools can help ease the strain on the back by keeping your mom in a standing upright position versus bent over. There are also ergonomic gardening tools with fatter handles and other design features that can make lawn and garden activities a little easier. Easier Watering The chore of carrying water or handling a heavy, awkward hose can also be difficult for older gardeners. Some helpful options include lightweight fabric hoses instead of heavy rubber hoses; soaker or drip hoses that can be snaked throughout the garden; thin coil hoses that can be used on the patio or small areas; a hose caddy and reel for easier hose transport around the yard; and a self-winding hose chest that puts the hose up automatically. There are also a variety of ergonomic watering wands that are lightweight, easy to grip, and reach those hard to-getto plants. To fi nd ergonomic gardening tools and the recommended watering aids, check with local retail stores that sell lawn and garden supplies or try online retailers like Gardeners. com or RadiusGarden.com. Container Gardening If your mom’s backyard garden has become too much for her to handle, she should consider elevated garden beds or container gardening – using big pots, window boxes, hanging baskets, barrels or tub planters. This is a much easier way to garden because it eliminates much of the bend and strain of gardening but still gives her the pleasure of making things grow. Trellises are another nice option that would allow her to garden vertically instead of horizontally. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators' votes on roll calls from the week of May 20-24. There were no roll calls in the House last week. All Senate roll calls are on the Senate debate of the $42.8 billion fi scal 2020 state budget. Many of the 1,142 amendments fi led by senators never came to a roll call vote and were simply approved or rejected one at a time on voice votes without debate. To move things along even faster, the Senate also did its usual “bundling” of many amendments. Instead of acting on the amendments one at a time, hundreds of the proposed amendments are bundled and put into two piles— one pile that will be approved and the other that will be rejected with a single vote on each pile. Senate President Karen Spilka, or the senator who is fi lling in for her at the podium, orchestrates the approval and rejection of the bundled amendments with a simple: “All those in favor say ‘aye,’ those opposed say ‘no.’ The ayes have it and the amendments are approved.” Or, “All those in favor say ‘aye,’ those opposed say ‘no.’ The no’s have it and the amendAdvocate 1.

The outcome was determined earlier behind closed doors. $42.8 BILLION FISCAL 2019 BUDGET (S 3) Senate 40-0, approved an estimated $42.8 billion fi scal 2020 budget for the fi scal year beginning July 1. Over a three-day period, the Senate added an estimated $74 million to the original version of the budget and considered and voted on more than 1,100 proposed amendments. Supporters said the budget is a fi scally responsible and balanced one that makes vital investments in the state while continuing fi scal responsibility. “We can be really proud of the work we have accomplished,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “We expressed our best hopes for the future of our commonwealth and together we made the hard decisions to produce a fi scally responsible budget that truly refl ects our Senate values.” The House has approved a different version of the budget. A House-Senate conference committee will hammer out a compromise version and send it to the governor. (A “Yes” vote is for the budget.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes INCREASE IN REGISTER OF DEEDS FEES (S 3) Senate 38-2, approved an amendment that would raise the existing surcharge on most Registry of Deeds’ real estate transaction fees by $30 (from $20 to $50). This money helps to fund the Community Preservation Act (CPA) which helps cities and towns preserve open space and historic sites, create aff ordable housing and develop outdoor recreational facilities. Amendment supporters said that when the fund was created in 2000, the state was able to provide communities with a 100 percent match of the funds the community raised through their local option surcharge of up to 3 percent of the local property tax. The state now only matches about 11 percent because of a lack of funding. “I have been trying to increase revenue for the state CPA matching funds for several sessions,” said Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton), the sponsor of the amendment. “Over 170 communities are waiting for us to keep our state’s promise to meaningfully partner with them for housing, historic preservation, open space and recreation. Raising the match from 11 percent to 30 percent will help move these important projects along.” “I do not support making housing transaction costs in the commonwealth more expensive when not all cities and towns are opted into the CPA program,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Webster). “Massachusetts housing and closing costs are already consistently highest in the nation.” “The state is realizing record tax revenue exceeding our benchmark by over 900 million dollars,” said Sen. Dean Tran (R-Leominster). “This is indicative of a strong economy and an example of why we should put an emphasis on economic development, creating jobs and help put people to work so that they can provide for their families. It is not the time to raise taxes and fees.” (A “Yes” vote is for raising the surcharge. A “No” vote is against raising it.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes SECURITY OF ELECTIONS (S 3) Senate 9-30, rejected an amendment that would require the secretary of state, in consultation with the United States Election Assistance Commission (EAC), to develop new rules and standards to ensure the cyber-security and general security of elections in the commonwealth to combat election fraud and other election security threats. The bill requires the rules to comply with those established by the United States Department of Homeland Security. Amendment supporters said the integrity of our democracy and voting system must be protected. They noted that the state has received $7.9 million from the federal government for the state to spend on election security but has only spent $1 million. Amendment opponents said the EAC and the Department of Homeland Security have not yet BEACON | SEE PAGE 19
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 31, 2019 Page 19 BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 issued any guidelines for the state to follow. They noted they support improving election security but argued the state will have to wait until the federal government can get its act together so we can use the funds allocated to us to work on these issues with them. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis No RAISE MINIMUM EDUCATION AID TO CITIES AND TOWNS (S 3) Senate 7-32, rejected an amendment that would increase the minimum Chapter 70 education aid each city and town receives from $30 per pupil to $100 per pupil. Amendment supporters said that despite the $268 million increase in education aid in the budget, more than 180 school districts would see a hike of only $30 per student this year. They argued that the $30 fi gure is unfair and insuffi cient for those districts’ needs. “There are suburban and rural communities that are unfairly represented in the chapter 70 education funding formula and rely upon minimum aid funding per student in the state budget,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Webster). "One hundred and eightytwo districts across the commonwealth are minimum aid districts with declining student enrollment and $100 per student would have adequately helped these districts which suff er from a broken education funding mechanism.” "I was encouraged by the Senate’s commitment to invest in our public school system,” said Sen. Vinny deMacedo (R-Plymouth). “However, the Senate's $300 million investment would have had a minimal eff ect on the communities I represent. As minimum aid communities they would benefi t most from a higher per pupil commitment. By spending $100 per pupil the Senate would have been able to better meet the budget needs of my communities and the educational goals of their students.” Some amendment opponents said that even districts receiving the minimum will still see an increase in Chapter 70 aid next year. They noted that the education aid in the Senate is signifi cantly higher than the plan proposed by Gov. Baker and the one approved by the House last month. Others said the Senate should tackle the broader issue of school funding through legislation now pending that will update and make major changes in the school funding formula. “The Senate fiscal year 2020 budget provides $268 million more in Chapter 70 funding to our local school districts than in fi scal year 2019, the largest annual increase in two decades,” said Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester) who opposed the amendment. “This budget also makes significant progress in implementing the recommendations of the Foundation Budget Review Commission, in order to ensure that our public schools are adequately and equitably funded so that every student across the commonwealth has access to a great education.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $100 per pupil. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis No $1.5 MILLION FOR CIVICS EDUCATION (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment providing $1.5 million for the Civics Project Trust Fund to promote civics education in the state. Amendment supporters said that this funding is a beginning and will capitalize the Civics Project Trust Fund, created by the Legislature last year as part of a broader civics bill, to support the infrastructure, curriculum resources and professional development needed to integrate high-quality civics education into our schools beginning in September 2020. “This money is a down payment on the future of civics education in Massachusetts,” said Sen. Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester), the sponsor of the amendment. “The students that will take these history courses and participate in these civics projects are the future leaders of this state. The future leaders of this state deserve a curriculum that has received robust investment.” The civics education law that was signed into law last year added more topics the civics courses must cover including the function and composition of the branches of local, state and federal government; the roles and responsibilities of a citizen in a democracy; the development of skills to access, analyze and evaluate written and digital media as it relates to history and civics; community diversity and historical trends in voter registration; civic participation relative to disenfranchised voter populations; opportunities to identify and debate issues relative to power, economic status and the common good in democracy. Other provisions include requiring each public school serving grades eight to 12 to provide at least one student-led civics project for each student; and requiring the state to provide information to cities and promote youth membership on municipal boards, committees and commissions. (A “Yes” vote is for the $1.5 million.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes $350,000 FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment increasing funding by $350,000 (from $4,469,372 to $4,819,372) for suicide prevention. “One of my top priorities this session is mental health and suicide prevention, and this amendment ensures that key programs are maintained to provide muchneeded services,” said the amendment’s sponsor Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover). “We’re facing an epidemic of teen suicide across the country. While teen drunk driving and teen pregnancy rates are way down, suicide rates for teen girls have doubled in recent years, and suicide rates for teen boys have increased by more than 30 percent. This funding, paired with my legislative agenda this session, would look out for our most vulnerable young people and give them the resources they need.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $350,000.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ $500,000 FOR SECURITY (S 3) Senate 40-0, approved an amendment that would provide $500,000 for a nonprofi t security grant program to provide support for target hardening and other physical security enhancements to nonprofi t organizations that are at high risk of terrorist attacks or hate crimes and are ineligible for the United States Department of Homeland Security’s Nonprofi t Security Urban Area Grant Program based on their location. “Unfortunately, we have seen a troubling rise in hate crimes across Massachusetts,” said Sen.

Jason Lewis Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on Mon. May 20 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:41 a.m. Senate 11:08 a.m. to 11:43 a.m. Tues.

They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of May 20-24, the House met for a total of one hour and 28 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 32 hours and 51 minutes.
