Early last week, officials from both state and city sectors visited Piers Park Sailing Center, which received funding for its summer programs from Boston After School & Beyond, a local organization that works to expand access to after-school and summer programs and has given out a total of $900,000 to 58 programs in Boston through a statewide summer learning grant program from the Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE).
Last Monday, Tommy Welch, Boston Public Schools School Superintendent of Region 1, visited the sailing center, while Senator Lydia Edwards and City Councilor Gabriela Coletta Zapata did so last Tuesday.
