Representative Dykema Comments on Recently Passed Education Reform Bill
First, it requires the state to make an assessment of the true cost of a high quality education. Educators have contended for many years that there is a mismatch been our expectations for our students and the funding provided to meet them. This evaluation will assess resources available to schools, seek to understand how they’re spent, identify cost effective best practices, and provide the data needed to maximize the value of every education dollar. Second, the law begins to address charter school funding concerns. The current method of funding charter schools drains needed dollars from public schools which are already facing tight budgets. Although only a first step, the new law provides some additional funding to public schools to offset the fiscal impact of charter school transfers. Third, the bill protects regional school transportation funding. This year, I and other legislators who represent regional schools helped prevent transportation funding cuts that would have disproportionately affected regional schools. The new law will ensure these funds are protected in the future. We can never be complacent when it comes to education, and we need to continually challenge ourselves to be better, even in the face of financial constraints. With this new law, the Commonwealth has taken an important step forward in providing for the education of our children and our future. |

Southborough asks you to Recycle
January 15, 2010 - Recycle if you can - you must and should. For each load of the "hopper" that goes out the Town of Southborough pays a tipping fee of $68.50 a ton to Wheelabrator. Meanwhile, everything in the recycle center does not cost the town. There is a steel and white goods pile, returnable bottles and cans, paper goods bins, co-mingled glass and plastics, cardboard and if you have an item that could be used second hand a swap shop. With today's economy, our taxes high and cutbacks in town services looming due to the budget crunch it's time to join forces with the other town residents that already recycle.

Guardian Angel Motorsports
To harness the power of the motorsports industry to raise
money for children's charities. The boys are at it again, the founders
of guardian angel motorsports, bruce ledoux and david quinlan will be joined
by drivers Dan Watkins, bob doyle & tommy sheehan in a race against man or
machine in the rolex 24 hour in Daytona to raise money for children’s
charities. this year we have partnered up with
Mission To raise public awareness, to provide advocacy and education, and to advance research on behalf of all those affected by food allergies and anaphylaxis. FAAN works to build public awareness of food allergy through the media and through education, advocacy, and research efforts. FAAN staff conducts seminars and training sessions on food allergy and anaphylaxis for patients, school staff, government officials, health professionals, restaurant and industry leaders, and other policymakers. FAAN works with policymakers on federal, state, and local initiatives in areas such as food labeling, epinephrine availability, and management of food allergies in schools, camps, airlines, and restaurants. FAAN supports and participates in research studies that lead us to a better understanding of, and a cure for, food allergy and anaphylaxis, and that improves the quality of life of individuals managing these conditions. Why Guardian angel motorsports chose faan Driver Bruce Ledoux has been a member of FAAN for over 6 years. His 6 year old son was diagnosed with severe food allergies at the young age of 3 months old. He was allergic to peanuts, treenuts, finfish, shellfish, milk, egg and beef. his daughter who never had food allergies until she was 7 years old, is now severely allergic to peanuts, treenuts, finfish, shellfish & sesame. “Our familiy is not alone when it comes to having children with food allergies....there are more than 12 million in the united states....but often times you feel like you are. there are a lot of anxieties families face with children with food allergies that most don’t understand. traveling, eating out, visiting friends, starting school, etc. are all things to be excited about....but often times the stress over organizing a safe experience for our children negates the excitement. Most experiences pose potential threats to our children if we don’t advocate and make sure that the environment is safe. sounds simple...but often times it is not. did you know that the fluoride that your child receives at the dentist contains treenuts? not something most would ask....but for a child with a treenut allergy...this could result in a severe anaphylactic reaction. There are things you can do to avoid falling into the anxiety trap. Education is essential — educate yourself, others in your life, and your children as they get older. This will reduce the risk of a dangerous reaction and help put you at ease. In addition, seek support and ways to relax, and try to turn your focus to the joys of life rather than its difficulties....and this is where FAAN plays a major roll in our life. Please help us support FAAN through our racing efforts at the Rolex 24 Hour race January 30-31, 2010. https://donate.guardianangelmotorsports.com/ purchase guardian angel motorsports apparel http://www.hackerthreads.com/items.asp?Cc=GAM&CatMoveby=0&Nbm=&Pbm=&FromNav Follow our blog at http://www.bruceledoux.com/blog/

MBTA Exercises Option With MBCR For Commuter Rail Service, Launches New Customer-Focused Improvements
Real-Time Arrival Countdown Begins , WiFi Expansion by Summer Boston, MA -- The MBTA today announced that it will begin a procurement process in 2012 for a new contract to operate commuter rail services, and, in the interim has exercised the final option on the contract with MBCR to operate the system until July 1, 2013. In exercising the option, the MBTA ensured that commuter rail riders will continue to see improvements in service, reliability and safety. The MBTA also announced a series of immediate customer-focused improvements targeted at enhancing the riding experience for the tens of thousands of commuter rail users who depend on the trains every day. "We are at the beginning of new era of customer-focused transportation in Massachusetts," said MassDOT Secretary Jeffrey Mullan. "The people who rely on the commuter rail everyday will see that our number one focus in on implementing immediate improvements to their riding experience." The customer
improvements begin tomorrow morning when a new real-time passenger
information system is launched on the Greenbush, Kingston/Plymouth, and
Middleboro/Lakeville Lines. For the first time ever, customers on the train
platforms will be provided with ‘real time’ arrival information. Displayed
in a countdown format on easy-to-read electronic message boards, the
information will provide minute-accurate train arrival times to customers
waiting for their trains. “In the past year, we have seen long-awaited improvements in on-time performance, air conditioning and other important changes to enhance our customers’ experience – but we can and must do more,” said MBTA Acting General Manager William Mitchell. “We will continue to focus squarely on strengthening our commitment to customer service and making additional improvements for commuter rail riders.” MassDOT and the MBTA also announced that by the end of the summer the commuter rail system’s very popular WiFi service will be expanded to every train on every line, making the MBTA the only commuter rail operator in the country to offer WiFi service on every passenger coach of every train. The installation work begins this spring, and before the end of the summer, all 410 coaches in the commuter rail fleet will offer WiFi service. In conjunction with the ‘next train’ countdown, the MBTA is preparing to launch a communications system that will allow commuter rail customers to get the same real-time information on their radios. By tuning to a specific frequency on a radio’s AM band, customers in the parking lots can stay in their automobiles until the train’s arrival is nearing. In some cases, the radio information will also be available to motorists approaching certain stations. Before the end of the January, this new customer service initiative will be available at the busy Anderson Regional Transportation Center on I-93 in Woburn. In the following weeks, the radio system will be installed at all commuter rail stations that offer fifty or more parking spaces.

Boston,
MA - On Thursday evening I joined my colleagues in the
House and Senate in supporting passage of an education reform bill,
an Act Relative to the Achievement Gap. This new law provides tools
to improve struggling schools and creates a limited number of new
charter schools in underperforming districts. Notably, the law will also
put Massachusetts in a strong position to access up to $250 million in
federal education funds. During debate, I co-sponsored a number of
amendments to address concerns I have heard from our schools, and I am
pleased that the final bill included a number of provisions that will
help the schools in my district.
