We are humbled that The Healey-Driscoll Administration and state legislators chose Community Teamwork to celebrate the Massachusetts fiscal year 2025 (FY25) state budget making the Commonwealth Cares for Children (C3) program permanent, continuing to be the only state in the nation to continue funding this vital program at the same level the federal government did. "Along with increasing our ability to fairly compensate teachers and staff, C3 grants and other state supplemental funding have enabled us to meet the increasing needs of our children and families. The soon to be open, Rita O'Brien-Dee Center for Behavioral Health and Development, is one of our responses to the great challenge of mental health for our children, staff and families and continued funding through C3 grants is helping us to provide this much needed programming for our community.", said Karen Frederick Community Teamwork CEO. "We are grateful to Governor Maura Healey and her Administration for taking a leadership role in ensuring this critical funding continues." In addition to Governor Healey, in attendance were Secretary of Education Patrick Tutwiler, PhD, State Representative Vanna Howard, State Representative Rodney Elliott , City Manager Tom Golden, Mayor Dan Rourke, City Councilor Vesna Nuon, Rep. Denise Garlick, House Chair of the Joint Committee on Education, Rep. Alice Peisch, Assistant Majority Leader and Governor’s Councilor Eileen Duff. Carl Howell City of Lowell @Lt.
