School districts in communities resistant to the controversial MBTA zoning law are losing out on state funding for a financial literacy program for students, according to a state senator urging the Healey administration to restore that money.
Republican Peter Durant says a regional school district in his central Massachusetts district has been blocked from accessing a $3,200 grant from the state Department of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation for the Credit for Life Fairs program.
The state senator added that Dracut and Hanover join Wachusett Regional — a school district that covers Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland and Sterling — in losing out on the funding because they have yet to comply with the MBTA Communities Act.
