The Bulletin is the Massachusetts PIRC’s newsletter, which is sent to members of our mailing list four times per year. It has useful information and tips on how families can become more involved in their children’s development and education, from working with their child at home to building relationships with teachers and the school. Written in family friendly language, the Bulletin keeps families up to date on the latest changes in education across the state and the nation.
