Superintendent announces her academic agenda

At tonight's Boston School Committee meeting, Dr. Carol Johnson presented the beginning of her plan to reorganize and strengthen the district to ensure all students achieve at high levels. She outlined priorities for the first of two phases in "Proficiency, Opportunity and Efficiency: the Superintendent's Acceleration Agenda for the Boston Public Schools," with a focus on the academic agenda and restructuring of central offices to support schools. Phase II, scheduled to be presented in April, will focus on operations, family/community partnerships, and long-term fiscal and facilities challenges.
