Boston #ReclaimOurSchools Walk-in
The protest started at Boston’s City Hall, where organizers spoke about their support for students and fears for their schools under the proposed cuts. A frequent concern expressed by both students and teachers was a concern that if the cuts went through, their schools would be forced to discontinue valuable electives and arts classes. As one BPS student said: “We’re going to lose computer science, we’re going to lose arts classes, just because of a budget cut.”
