“Joseph G. Grassi is another voice of reason on the school board. As others on the board joined the city’s educational establishment battling tooth and nail against the MCAS, Grassi warned that the children would be the losers. Now as the city’s system and students play catch-up, we trust Grassi to stand up for the students when their needs compete with the political agendas of their teachers and administrators.”
