New study finds benefits to METCO. But the program faces an uncertain future

Kids who participate in the METCO busing program, designed in the 1960s to desegregate Boston Public Schools, score better on state tests and are more likely to attend college than peers not in the program, according to a new study. But could funding uncertainty threaten the popular program's future?

Radio Boston talks with Massachusetts Rep. Christopher Worrell, who participated in METCO as a young student, as well as WBUR education reporter Max Larkin.
