Statement from Mayor Walsh on Nikki Bollerman

"Nikki's selfless actions offer the opportunity to provide students at UP Academy in Dorchester with additional educational resources that will directly improve their learning experience. Her students are incredibly fortunate to have Nikki as a teacher and she has my full support as we move forward. If it is decided that this donation goes against state law, I hope we can work together to find a solution that allows UP Academy to keep this contribution for the benefit of the students."
