Reaffirming support for the City and School District to consider joining in Brockton’s lawsuit against the State, which calls for a revised district funding formula to provide greater resources for communities to meet the needs of children, given that our State's funding and accountability systems contribute to income segregation and act as a significant driver of the region’s housing crisis.
