Current legislation being considered on Beacon Hill would more than double this cap. Thirty-four schools will be opened by the fall of 1999. Boston University Residential Charter School is not included in the data because it only serves students referred by the Department of Social Services.

Policy Directions are based on Pioneer's published research, testimony, and symposiums.
Nothing written here is an attempt to aid or hinder the passage of any legislation.
