The meeting, taking place at UMass, aims to address the critical financial needs of local schools and discuss potential solutions to budget shortfalls. With many institutions grappling with increased demands for resources, the involvement of the community is essential. Bernacchia emphasized the importance of civic engagement, urging students to take an active role in discussions that directly impact their education and future.
