Cambridge School Committee Examines Achievement Gap

This article from the Boston Globe describes a meeting of the Cambridge Public School Committee, which met to discuss the problems affecting its schools, and to brainstorm ways to potentially remedy these issues. I believe that this article highlights a step in the right direction for the public schools; the achievement gap in the city is huge and unavoidable. For the school committee to meet informally and put emphasis on this issue shows initiative to begin solving problems in the schools. While it remains to be seen what comes out of this meeting and others that will inevitably follow as administrators plan for the upcoming school year, this article helps to make the achievement gap known so that people will be able to come up with ways to bring quality education to all of Boston's students.
