    The Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity (METCO) hosted the METCO showcase for families to meet representatives of suburban schools and explore free education for their children.

    The showcase was held at the Boys and Girls Club in Dorchester from 12-2 p.m. DJs played music, alongside raffles for gift cards and free pizza. Even Red Sox mascots Wally and Tessie made an appearance!

    METCO aims to make it easier for families to apply for schools, no longer acquiring past school records. Parents only need their child’s birth certificate, parent-guardian ID, and proof of Boston residency.

    The organization also allows parents to choose up to three suburban school districts, ranking them in order of preference instead of by school district.

    This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.

    I say let's divide the schools by nationality lumping these children together is a horrible idea I'm for separate but equal.
