Next week, a state board will be in Holyoke to assess whether Massachusetts should take control of the city’s public schools. The state takeover, a process called receivership, has been a hotly debated topic in Holyoke. And the only other school district currently in receivership is Lawrence. The northeastern Massachusetts city’s schools were taken over in 2011.

For a look at what might be in store for Holyoke, I spoke with Julie Swerdlow Albino. She’s the Chief Redesign Officer for Lawrence Public Schools.
