H 600 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act fulfilling the promise of education reform

This bill establishes a special commission called the Promise Commission to study and update public education policies in Massachusetts. The commission will include eleven members appointed by state leaders, education officials, and various teacher and equity organizations. Its main task is to examine current challenges in schools, such as teacher shortages, workforce diversity, and student support needs, and to recommend changes for the future. The bill does not create new laws or funding but instead sets up a group to review how education has changed over the last thirty years and suggest improvements.
