O’Bryant School of Mathematics & Science. Eligible students must currently be in grade 6 to apply for grade 7, or grade 8 to apply for grade 9 at all three exam schools. Only the John D. O’Bryant School accepts applications from students currently in grade 9. Boston’s exam schools accept and support all types of learners. Students who are interested in attending an exam school must complete an application process that includes taking the entrance exam, submission of grades, and ranking the schools in order of preference. Parents of students not currently enrolled in the BPS are also required to confirm Boston residency at a BPS Welcome Center. There are a limited number of seats available in the exam schools. Students are chosen to attend based on their ISEE score (50%) and Grade Point Average (GPA) (50%). Please ensure the steps below are completed before the deadline to ensure the application will be considered. Each step is outlined in the next sections of this guide. Step 1: Register for the ISEE Step 2: Submit a request for testing accommodations (for students with disabilities or limited English proficiency) Step 3: Confirm Boston Residency (for students not currently enrolled in the BPS) Step 4: Take the ISEE Step 5: Submit school choice ranking form and receive applicant grades Step 6: Receive notification of admissions decision After reading this guide, if you have questions about the Boston Exam Schools, the admission process, or the residency policy, please contact: Maria Vieira Exam School Admissions Tel: 617-635-9512 Email: [email protected] Website: www.bostonpublicschools.org/exam If you have concerns about the test administration, please be sure to include a full description of your concern. 5 The Exam School Admissions Process Step 1: Register for the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) Eligibility: Students must be currently enrolled in grades 6, 8, or 9 to register for the ISEE. Students in grades 6 and 8 may apply for any of the three exam schools, but students in grade 9 may only apply for the John D. O’Bryant School of Mathematics & Science, as this is the only exam school that accepts new 10th grade students. Boston Public Schools will offer the ISEE in November free of charge to Boston students. * Students are eligible to sit for one entrance exam between August 1, 2019 and November 30, 2019. Registration Deadline - September 20, 2019: There are two ways to register for the November exams: Online: Submit a registration form on our website at www.bostonpublicschools.org/exam.

To ensure that the BPS receives the ISEE score report, families must provide school code 888888 during the test registration process. Step 2: Request Testing Accommodations for Students with Disabilities and English Language Learners Eligibility: Test accommodations are any modifications made to the exam or testing conditions that allow students with disabilities or limited English proficiency to fully participate in a testing situation.

    Buildbps Phase II Proposed Facility Plan 2018 - 2027

    BuildBPS Phase II Proposed Facility Plan 2018 - 2027 A Message from Interim Superintendent Perille Dear Parents, Guardians, Students, Staff, and Community Members: As the Boston Public Schools enters Phase II of the BuildBPS 10-year educational and facilities planning process, the district is pleased to release a proposed plan for public discussion and continued review. Significant work has been done over the last three years to develop a plan that allows the district to strategically, equitably, and responsibly transform its facilities landscape to benefit our students. This proposed plan encompasses stakeholders’ feedback, aspirations, and goals, along with the data and ideas needed to bring them to fruition. Thanks to the commitment of Mayor Martin J. Walsh and leadership from the Boston School Committee, BuildBPS represents an important leap and historic opportunity to provide 21st-century learning environments to BPS students. This proposed plan outlines a framework to expand equity, access to quality learning environments, and predictability of school pathways for more students and families. Our guiding principles include: • Expanding access to quality learning environments for more students • Locating new or expanded buildings in neighborhoods with high student need and low current access • Creating more equitable program placement and learning opportunities for our most vulnerable students, including students with special needs and English learners • Reducing pre-K-12 transitions by creating clear pathways for more students By 2027, the Boston Public Schools hopes to have up to twelve new school buildings or major transformations of buildings completed or under construction. The district also plans to increase the number of students making one transition during their K-12 experience by reconfiguring up to twenty more pre-K-6 elementary schools and seven more 6/7-12 secondary schools, while preserving strong K-8/9-12 options for families.
  • “The Schools Are Killing Our Kids!” the African American Fight for Self- Determination in the Boston Public Schools, 1949-1985

    “The Schools Are Killing Our Kids!” the African American Fight for Self- Determination in the Boston Public Schools, 1949-1985

    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: “THE SCHOOLS ARE KILLING OUR KIDS!” THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FIGHT FOR SELF- DETERMINATION IN THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 1949-1985 Lauren Tess Bundy, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor David Freund, Department of History This dissertation examines a grassroots movement led by black Bostonians to achieve racial justice, quality education, and community empowerment in the Boston Public Schools during the postwar period. From the late 1940s through the early 1980s black parents, teachers, and students employed a wide-range of strategies in pursuit of these goals including staging school boycotts, creating freedom schools, establishing independent alternative schools, lobbying for legislation, forming parent and youth groups, and organizing hundreds of grassroots organizations. At the heart of this movement was a desire to improve the quality of education afforded to black youth and to expand the power of black Bostonians in educational governance. This dissertation demonstrates that desegregation and community control were not mutually exclusive goals or strategies of black educational activism. I examine the evolution of the goals, ideology, and strategy of this movement over the course of more than three decades in response to shifts in the national and local political climate. This work traces the close ties between this local movement in Boston and broader movements for racial and social justice unfolding across the nation in the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. Most importantly, my dissertation puts this movement in conversation with a broader national project of various marginalized groups in the postwar period to radically transform the institutions of democracy. This dissertation challenges a well-known narrative of civil rights and school desegregation in Boston in this period.

Art Publishing Company, 18 Post Office Square, 132 Boylston Street. Boston. Mass 3s ?2 PREFACE. ~¥"N this souvenir volume an entirely new method lias been followed. The legislators who -*- have worked together are here grouped together. The chairman has been iriven the place of honor in the centre, with the House chairman on his right and the clerk on his left. The other members are then placed as in the committee arrangement. Fur evident reasons, how- ever, there is an occasional departure from this rule. The councillors and members of Congress are arranged in order by their districts. The aim of the editor has been to produce a book that should contain such matters of special interest as could not be found in any official publication. Therefore, whatever appears in the regular journals of either branch has been excluded, because this would be only a duplication. But here is given the personality of our legislators, as well as of other state officers. Here are their counterfeit presentment, their biography, and the fac-simile of their auto- graphs. All these make up the -man ; and here are the men who made laws for their state and helped make them for the nation in 1892.

    A SOUVENIR OF Massachusetts Legislators 1910 VOLUME XIX (Issued Annually) ./ A. M, BRIDGMAN STOUGHTON, MASS. OCT 21 1910 a.vvA, - STATE HOUSE, BOSTON. PREFACE The Legislature of igio passed more bills than any other on rec- ord. And that was not its only claim to distinction. It had a genuine "investigation." that of the Lyman School; a couple of "near investi- gations"—the milk question and the Southbridge Savings bank irregu- larities; also it authorized the investigation by special commissions of "The High Cost of Living" and of the securities of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. Company. The results of these investigations must be sought in the daily papers. They served the usual and chief end of all investigations— that of a safety-valve and a scapegoat, to use a mixed metaphor. The tax payers foot the bills; and if they are sat- isfied certainly the investigators ought to be. Taken altogether it was a very "strenuous" session.
