• Gov. Maura Healey has signed the FY24 state budget. METCO was level funded at $29.5M.
• We will be lobbying for a METCO budget increase, as we have received for the last 6 years, in a supplemental budget to be filed later this year.

It’s legislative budgeting season, and there’s a lot you can do to help advocate for METCO’s $32.2M funding request:

• Contact your legislators: email, call, and/or send letters!
• Click here to find your legislators
• Set up individual appointments with your legislators to discuss the impact of the program

Tell your legislators that funding METCO will go towards:

• Supporting students with academic help and mental health professionals
• Deepening equity work with assessment tools and best practice systems
• Meeting increased expenses caused by inflation and staffing challenges
• Expanding enrollment in participating districts, who have expressed a desire for 116 additional seats
