Springfield Schools Expect More State Aid From Massachusetts' Education Funding Changes

  The largest reforms in decades are coming to Massachusetts public schools.

 A new law commits the state to increase funding for local schools by $1.5 billion over the next several years.

Poorer urban school districts are expected to be the biggest beneficiaries of the reforms.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Superintendent of the Springfield Public Schools Dan Warwick.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
