This month, the Senate and House of Representatives passed legislation that significantly increases oversight of special-education collaboratives, and includes measures that will significantly benefit students, sending school districts and the taxpayers of Massachusetts.
This bill works towards restoring the trust that was lost after gross indiscretions were committed at Merrimack Special Education Collaborative (MSEC), and we are proud to support increased oversight, transparency and accountability for all collaboratives.
Among a number of other measures, the bill requires collaboratives to complete annual audited financial reports that must be voted into acceptance by collaborative board members.
