Boston Public Schools Releases Strategic Plan: What Do You Think?

Boston Public Schools has released a strategic plan that's been in the works for awhile. Now, it wants the public's input.

You can read the BPS Strategic Implementation Plan below, and submit feedback here: superintendent@bostonpublicschools.org.

According to BPS, the Strategic Implementation Plan consists of five focus areas:

• Implementing an inclusive, rigorous, and culturally/linguistically sustaining PK-12 instructional program that serves the development of the whole child.
• Attracting, developing, and retaining a highly effective team that is responsive to the diverse racial, cultural, and linguistic needs of Boston youth.
• Engaging families and community organizations as advocates and partners for equity, access, and results for all students.
• Delivering a coordinated system of high-quality support, customer service, and communications centrally and at schools.
• Building a sustainable financial system that invests resources equitably and strategically.

Each focus area includes initiatives and milestones, which determines the makeup of the work. The plan further outlines development tracking methods with metrics that can provide insight into success rates and areas for continued growth, BPS said.
