Worcester Voters Demand Full School Funding

Worcester County voters sent a bold message to their leaders: public education is non-negotiable. Three commissioners who voted against the school board’s full budget request lost their seats, while new voices like Steve Green, who pledged full funding, take the reins. The $120 million approved still fell short by nearly $3 million, risking cuts to summer school, preschool, and tech upgrades. Superintendent Annette Wallace hailed the election as proof of community commitment to students, while Caryn Abbott, the only holdout, kept her seat on a fiscally conservative platform. With fresh leadership and renewed urgency, the county’s schools are poised for a new chapter — one where collaboration and investment in education take center stage.
