REQUIRE STUDENTS TO DISCLOSE WHY THEY CHOOSE TO GO TO A SCHOOL OUTSIDE THEIR CITY OR TOWN (H 704) – Under current law, students can request, under the inter-district school choice program, that they be allowed to attend a school outside of where they live. Participation in the program is limited to 2 percent of all public school students enrolled. Each district decides whether it will participate in this program. For the 2021-2022 school year, 170 or 53 percent of Massachusetts’ total districts chose to participate in the program. Tuition is paid by the sending district to the receiving district. The bill would require these students and their parents or guardians to meet with the school’s administrators to discuss the reasons for wanting to leave the district. Supporters say this does not alter the program but simply adds another reasonable requirement for students applying to attend a school outside their district. Sponsor Rep. Todd Smola did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his bill and QUOTABLE QUOTES “This winter will be, at best, a very high-cost energy winter.

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 the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. 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 September 19-23, the House met for a total of 48 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 30 minutes. Mon. Sept. 19 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:09 a.m. Senate 11:18 a.m. to 11:24 a.m. Tues. Sept. 20 No House session No Senate session Wed. Sept. 21 No House session No Senate session Thurs.
