The House 154-4, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the entire $875,000 for a statewide college and career readiness program implemented by JFYNetWorks, a nonprofit corporation, to provide online instructional curricula to help students meet the Massachusetts state standards at each grade level and reduce learning loss and achievement gaps. The program would also prepare students for required assessments and college placement tests in middle school and high school.
The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $875,000 was eliminated.
“I am vetoing this item because it is not consistent with my House [budget] recommendation,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message.
(A “Yes” vote is for the $875,000. A “No” vote is against it.)
