Public Engagement
The Community Engagement team encourages and fosters authentic engagement of families and community members. We seek to create opportunities for BPS to share information and receive feedback, ensure that the community voice informs and is reflected in BPS decision making and policy. We also provide opportunities for dialogue via organized meetings, forums, focus groups, and surveys. Contact: Myriam Ortiz

Community Engagement Advisory Council (CEAC)
CEAC is the district’s effort to formally enlist and partner with constituent-based organizations and community members to help Boston Public Schools deeply engage all members of our community and every stakeholder group regarding initiatives and policies.
Through the Council’s work, BPS seeks to increase public engagement and rebuild trust and confidence in all stakeholders.
To this end, CEAC’s charge focuses on two areas. First, the group helps the district refine communications and engagement processes related to initiatives and policies. Second, the group supports broad outreach to all stakeholder groups by co-hosting public engagement activities.
