Our responsibility is to reimagine our schools as full-service community hubs and engines of climate resilience so that all Boston Public School students have the HQSE that they deserve.

The High-Quality Student Experience is defined by four key categories developed in partnership with the BPS community:

• Rigorous and culturally affirming learning experiences
• Wellness and enrichment
• Supportive network of caring adults
• Physical spaces that support learning

The top priorities identified by the BPS community to ensure a HQSE include:

• Consistent, high-quality academic programs and learning opportunities, including for students with disabilities and multilingual students
• Mental health and social emotional supports
• Access to gyms, cafeterias, libraries, auditoriums, and other spaces that support a well-rounded educational experience
• Outdoor space for learning, play, and sports
• Maintenance of school facilities
• Indoor environmental conditions (heating, cooling, air quality, lighting)

As part of the BPS Long-Term Facilities Plan, we have created a short guide to the LTFP that is a snapshot of the roadmap and highlights the key aspects of the plan. It is available here, in all major BPS languages.
