By Joy Hosford, Ross Cristantiello and Mike Gaffney Saugus Advertiser Major changes could be on the way for Massachusetts vocational schools. With more students applying and advocates pushing to make admissions more equitable, the process by which a student actually gets into a vocational school could be changed drastically. Massachusetts Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner (DESE) Jeffrey Riley proposed changes to the admission process earlier this year, and according to State House News the proposed changes "...would give schools flexibility to set their own policies 'that promote equitable access' while restricting the use of criteria that disproportionately exclude students in protected classes."
