BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts lawmakers are in the middle of a debate about how best to increase spending on local school districts. At the heart of the discussion is the state's 25-year-old education funding formula — known as the "foundation budget" — which was a key element of the landmark 1993 Massachusetts education reform law. The formula was meant to help determine how much schools should spend educating students, and how much the state should kick in. The goal was to help smooth out some of... Читать дальше...

Designs for a memorial to nine black worshippers slain at a South Carolina church began not at a drafting table, but with questions from grieving family members to prospective architects. They didn't want to see any drawings until they sat down with the eventual designer to discuss how best to honor loved ones lost in the racist attack at Emanuel AME Church. The result of those conversations, the planners say, will be less of a solemn monument and more of a heavenly embrace to those visiting the historic Charleston church. Читать дальше...
