The School Committee also voted 4-3 last night to pass a resolution opposing the November ballot referendum lifting the cap on commonwealth charter schools in Massachusetts. Currently, Haverhill loses over $2.8 MILLION each year to charter schools. To learn more about why Massachusetts needs to #keepthecap visitwww.saveourpublicschoolsma.com.
