In an attempt to be better provider to low-income student, the state will choose the tab by taking Advanced Placement exams in technology, science, engineering and math subjects this year after the federal government ended providing dedicated funding.
Last week morning, Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito announced at an Everett Chamber of Commerce Breakfast that the STEM Advisory Council will cover the costs of coming tests for low-income Massachusetts students, with an allocation of approximately $326,000.
