Great to have our legislative colleagues in @fallriver_ma!
At @fallriver_ma Heritage State Park, we received community updates from @CaroleFiola, @RepAlanSilvia, Rep. Schmid, @MayorPaulCoogan, and @FRPSsupt. One great finding: early college continues to level the playing field and produce positive outcomes for students.
