ALT A caption written saying, "The 150 Most Influential Bostonians."
ALT Massachusetts Secretary of Education and UMass Trustee Patrick Tutwiler, happily smiling at the viewer. Next to Patrick is the number he ranks out of 150 people on Boston Magazine's list which is 129. Below his rank is a short description of that explains why Patrick was chosen to be a part of this distinguished list saying, "After years of pandemic-related learning loss, the state’s students—and their parents—are counting on Tutwiler, who previously developed high school programs at the Barr Foundation and ran Lynn’s schools as superintendent. Just a few months into the job, he’ll be dealing with the promises and challenges of phasing in Massachusetts’ 2021 Student Opportunity Act—and soon, the promised education funding from the new Millionaires’ Tax."
