Spring 2024 Grade Reconfigurations and Closures

The BPS Long-Term Facilities Plan is a data-driven roadmap for shifting our physical footprint to support the High-Quality Student Experience with greater urgency, transparency, and equity. For every student and family to have access to the BPS High-Quality Student Experience close to home, we need school buildings that are safe, healthy, climate-resilient, inclusive, and inspiring.

Overview

We are building a stronger school district for Boston and have been working with our school communities to develop strategies together that deliver a high-quality experience for all BPS students. We are committed to shifting our district’s physical footprint in a way that expands access to a more holistic learning experience for all students, and allows us to concentrate more resources into our classrooms. This work is about providing every student in Boston with an inclusive education and equitable access to the High-Quality Student Experience that we collectively envision (outlined in the BPS Long-Term Facilities Plan). Our goal is to expand access to rigorous and culturally affirming learning experiences, access to wellness and enrichment, a supportive network of caring adults, and the physical spaces to support all aspects of a student’s education. The Long-Term Facilities Plan outlines our commitment to utilizing data in order to develop an annual cycle of proposed shifts to our district’s building portfolio.
