The campaign opposing a ballot initiative to eliminate the use of statewide tests as a graduation requirement is rolling out an advertising blitz, hitting airwaves with the slogan"Protect Our Kids' Future."
Under Question 2, students would still take the statewide exams throughout their school careers, but the test taken in 10th grade would not be used as a requirement to graduate. Instead, individual districts would come up with their own standards for graduation.
In addition to a 15- and 30-second ad spot with Norton, the opposition campaign is also running two ads featuring a Revere teacher. The ads cost the Protect Our Kids' Future: Vote No On 2 campaign $250,000. Key contributors include Analog Devices-founder Raymond Stata and nonprofit Education Reform Now.
