Adopted
The City Council filed a resolution on July 8, 2026 to use a supplemental budget from the City’s reserve fund to reinstate up to about 400 Boston Public Schools employees who were slated for layoffs. The measure argues restoring these frontline workers will support students, particularly those with disabilities, and asks for swift action before the upcoming school year.
