An Act to assesses school integration within the Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity (METCO) program

This bill establishes a 13-member commission to reassess the METCO school integration program in Massachusetts. The commission includes education leaders, legislative minority leaders, the education secretary, and representatives from groups like the Black Educators Alliance and NAACP New England, plus three former METCO participants appointed by the governor. The commission must evaluate METCO's historical impact and propose improvements to the legislature within one year of the bill's effective date. It does not change the program itself but creates a formal review process to inform future policy decisions.
