The Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity (METCO) Program, established in 1966 and funded under the Racial Imbalance Act of Massachusetts, is a voluntary desegregation program formed through the cooperative efforts of urban and suburban parents and educators. The METCO Directors' Association (MDA), founded in 1975, provides educational leadership in the areas of school desegregation, academic achievement for students of color, multicultural education, and parent empowerment. The MDA membership is comprised of concerned professionals who serve as METCO Directors or Coordinators in more than thirty suburban communities in the metropolitan Boston area.

🕊️💜 Honoring the Legacy of Frances Y. Dennis 💜🕊️

A true pillar in the METCO community, Frances Y. Dennis dedicated her life to educational opportunity, advocacy, and uplifting generations of students and families.

At her funeral service, METCO received a standing ovation during the resolution portion of the program — a powerful reminder of the impact her life and legacy had across our communities.

Her work and commitment were recognized by the City of Boston, Michelle Wu, Liz Miranda, and Ruthzee Louijeune.

From newspaper features highlighting her family’s METCO journey to the countless lives she touched personally, her legacy will continue to live on through the students, families, and communities she inspired. ✨

Rest peacefully, Ms. Dennis. Your impact will never be forgotten. 💜
