RIGHT NOW: Watch Mayor Michelle Wu and Boston Public Schools' superintendent share their vision for the city's schools.
Mary Skipper is the city's sixth super intendent in the last 10 years, but as she told NBC10 Boston's Jeff Saperstone, she plans to be in the position for the long haul.
“I see this being a district in five years where our school buildings...are really mirroring what the expectations of the community are. What they hope for for their children, what we would want for our children," Skipper said at the time."State-of-the-art facilities, facilities that are going to be able to support the type of academic programming and opportunities that we want for our students so that equity in education is a reality and not just words.
She also shared her six priorities to get back to basics, including rigorous academics, social and emotional support, school safety, strengthening communications, authentic family engagement, and accountability.showed that 29% of parents reported that they're"very satisfied" with the Boston Public Schools, a decline from 41% a year earlier. Meanwhile, less parents in the survey felt that the district is focusing on students.
The city and school district reached an agreement with the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education on a plan in June of 2022 to avoid receivership. Improvements to special education services, student transportation and school safety were all part of that agreement.
