On Oct. 28, Mayor Michelle Wu delivered the city’s first-ever State of the Schools address with optimism, polish, and a long list of initiatives meant to showcase progress. She spoke of innovation, equity, and modern classrooms. But words alone won’t fix overcrowded schools, teacher shortages, or decades of educational inequity— all problems we see daily in Dorchester and across Boston.

Mayor Michelle Wu took a bold step lasts week, leaning into her commitment to drive improvement in Boston Public Schools (BPS) on a very public stage.

While no one heading into the polls next Tuesday need guess the outcome of the mayoral election — Michelle Wu is running unopposed — two City Council races hang in the balance.

Boston voters have eight solid choices for city council-at-large on their ballot next Tuesday, Nov. 4, but there are two candidates that The Reporter recommends in particular.
Massachusetts residents entering voting booths on Nov. 3 next year will see the names of candidates for state representative, state senate, and members of Congress, in particular, US Sen. Ed Markey and his challengers.
But those elected state and federal offices on the ballot will likely be joined by more than a dozen ballot questions as outside supermarkets across the Commonwealth this fall solicitors have been gathering signatures on behalf of as many as 47 ballot initiatives on topics ranging from promoting transparency in the Legislature, instituting a statewide rent control law, and rolling back the state’s legalization of marijuana.
