Report Excerpt:

(5 - 0)


The Select Board recommends no action on this resolution because the issue – ensuring in-state tuition rates for all Massachusetts high school graduates regardless of immigration status is both beyond the scope of Town  Meeting’s authority and without a direct target audience.   Several members of the Board expressed support for the overall idea, but overall the resolution did not seem ripe for Town Meeting action.

Vote Language:

That no action be taken on Article 68.
