EVERETT Vol. 28, No. 48 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net HAVE A SAFE & HAPPY THANKSGIVING! ADVOCATE Free Every Friday 617-387-2200 Wednesday, November 27, 2019 Tide ready to finish off another winning season Play Masco on T-Day at Everett Veterans Stadium at 10 AM By Greg Phipps E ntering their annual Thanksgiving Day contest under unusual circumstances, the Everett Crimson Tide are obviously looking to end their 2019 campaign on a triumphant note. Everett and the Masconomet Chieftains have been facing off on Thanksgiving Day since 2016. The relatively new series has seen the Tide win all three contests thus far by an aggregate margin of 103-44, with Everett winning last season’s clash at Boxford, 32-0. That day consisted of some unseasonably frigid weather, but this year’s forecast appears to be more on the normal side for this time of the year. The teams played each other at Fenway Park in 2017. The two schools first tangled back in 2012 when Everett defeated Masco, 42-14, in the playoff tournament. The Tide went on to the Super Bowl title that season with a one-point win over Barnstable at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. This year’s Turkey Day affair features a couple of unique elements. First, the Tide comes into the Thanksgiving game eliminated from the playoffs and having lost two consecutive games. Secondly, it will also mark the first time a Thanksgiving game has taken place at Veterans Memorial Stadium since 2011. On that day, the Tide rolled to a 48-8 rout of Cambridge Rindge & Latin, which was Everett’s annual holiday rival until that series was brought to an end after 2011. This year’s game kicks off at 10 a.m. at Veterans Memorial. Two straight heartbreaking late-game losses in its last two outings have Everett standing at 7-3. Quarterback Duke Doherty was stopped at the goal line in a two-point overtime defeat at Central Catholic of Lawrence in the Div. 1 North semifinal. Last week the Tide resumed their regular season at Andover (the third seed in Div. 1 North and SEASON | SEE PAGE 11 Messinger Insurance Agency, Inc.

Page 6 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 27, 2019 Representative McGonagle votes to enact Student Opportunity Act Investing $1.5 billion in public schools, updating statewide education policy and supporting effective approaches to close student opportunity gaps L ast week, State Representative Joe McGonagle along with his colleagues in both chambers of the Massachusetts Legislature unanimously voted to enact the Student Opportunity Act. This legislation, providing an unprecedented $1.5 billion new investment in Massachusetts K-12 public education system, ensures public schools have the resources to provide high-quality education to students across the state, regardless of zip code or income level. Assuming inflation, over the seven-year implementation timeline the bill will provide an estimated $2.2 billion in support of public schools. The Student Opportunity Act provides significant support to school districts that serve English learners and high concentrations of low-income students. At the same time, all school districts across the Commonwealth will benefit from updates to the existing funding formula, along with increased state investments in vital education aid programs such as special education transportation, school construction and renovation, and the 21st Century Education Program. “Fully funding Everett’s schools is one of my top priMCGONAGLE | SEE PAGE 7 For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net

This legislation will bring millions of more dollars to fund critical programs for low income and English language learners so that all students have access to high quality education. I am so proud to have been a part of this, and I am especially thankful to Speaker DeLeo, Chair Alice Peisch, the Chair of the Education Committee, and my good friend Rep. Paul Tucker, the Vice Chair of the Education Committee for all the time and effort they put in to getting this bill passed and onto the governor’s desk.” “The Student Opportunity Act makes a lasting and profound investment in the Massachusetts public education system and places a special emphasis on English Joe McGonagle State Representative learners and districts serving our low-income students,” said House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo (D-Winthrop). “We’re building on our ongoing efforts to support our neediest students and to close opportunity gaps. I want to thank MCGONAGLE | SEE PAGE 16

Holding a 16-13 lead on a long Tyrese Baptiste TD run and twopoint play in the final period, Everett couldn’t close it out as Andover scored with about two minutes remaining and came away with a 20-16 victory. Doherty had to leave the Andover game because of an injury but will be ready to resume his duties behind center against the Chieftains. He threw just three times in last year’s contest (likely due, in part, to the cold conditions) and finished with more than 1,600 yards passing last season. He has had another strong performance this fall and will look to get the usual assistance from his teammates. Baptiste and running backs Jayden Clerveaux and Clarence Jules are among the players who will look to make life difficult for Masconomet, which enters the game at 7-4. The Chieftains experienced a similar playoff fate as Everett. They advanced to the Div. 2 North semifinal, where they lost to Lincoln-Sudbury.

This was a collaboration among the House and the Senate, and I appreciate Senate President Spilka’s partnership as we make this historic investment.” The Student Opportunity Act fully implements the recommendations of the 2015 Foundation Budget Review Commission (FBRC) in order to support the “educational programs and services necessary to achieve the Commonwealth’s educational goals” as stated in the Commission’s mission. The bill provides an estimated $1.4 billion in new Chapter 70 aid over and above inflation when fully implemented over the next seven years. The bill modernizes the K-12 education funding and policy landscape in four areas: • Estimates school districts’ employee and retiree health care costs using up to date health insurance trend data collected by the state’s Group Insurance Commission (GIC). • Increases special education enrollment and cost assumptions to more accurately reflect district enrollment. • Increases funding for English learners (EL) and differentiates funding by grade level to reflect the greater resources required to educate our older EL students. • Addresses the needs of districts educating high concentrations of low-income students by providing additional funding based on the share of low-income students in each district; districts educating the largest percentage of low-income students will receive an additional increment equal to 100 percent of the base foundation; and returning the definition of low-income to 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, as opposed to the 133 percent level used in recent years. In addition to implementing the FBRC’s recommended formula changes, the Student Opportunity Act provides an additional $100 million in state financial support in several categories to help public schools and communities deliver a high-quality education to every student. Those fiscal supports include: • Increasing foundation rates for guidance and psychological services in recognition of the growing need for expanded social-emotional support and mental health services; • Committing to fully funding charter school tuition reimbursement, which provides transitional aid to help districts when students leave to attend charter schools, within a three-year timetable; MCGONAGLE | SEE PAGE 17
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 27, 2019 Page 17 MCGONAGLE | FROM PAGE 16 • Expanding the special education circuit breaker program, which reimburses districts for extraordinary special education costs, to include transportation as well as instructional cost, to be implemented over the next four years; and • Raising the annual cap on Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) spending for construction and renovation by $200 million (from $600 million to $800 million), enabling more school building projects across the state to be accepted into the MSBA funding pipeline, which reimburses towns and cities for a portion of school building costs. In addition to new funding and other supports, the Student Opportunity Act establishes the 21st Century Education Trust Fund to provide districts and schools access to flexible funding to pursue creative approaches to student learning and district improvement. In order to track and reproduce successful school and district-level programs and policies, the legislation calls on school districts to develop and make publicly available plans for closing opportunity gaps. These plans will include specific goals and metrics to track success. The bill includes language, to ensure that plans consider input from school committees and other stakeholders. In addition, the Secretary of Education will collect and publish data on student preparedness in each district for post-graduate success in college and the workforce. Furthermore, the Student Opportunity Act establishes a Data Advisory Commission to help improve the use of data at the state, district, and school levels to inform strategies that strengthen teaching, learning and resource allocation. The bill increases the scope of data collected and moves towards establishing targets for college and career success. The bill requires the Foundation Budget Review Commission to convene at least every ten years to review the way foundation budgets are calculated and ensure the school funding formula continues to reflect the needs of school districts across the Commonwealth. The bill now goes to the governor.
