MIDDLESEX COUNTY Your local Civil Defense Director and other local public officials, under the guidance of State and Federal Civil Defense Agencies, have been working for some time to develop the best plan for survival in the event of Nuclear Attack using presently available resources. The basements of many homes in this area, because of the substantial type of construction, will provide a degree of protection against radioactive fallout, with those persons not able to take shelter at home being provided space in public shelter. - The Community Shelter Plan is Option I of the Nuclear Civil Protec tion Program for Massachusetts and would be implemented if insufficient time was available for evacuating people from areas that would be subject to direct blast damage. Option II of the Nuclear Civil Protection Program provides instruc- tions on the relocation of people from the blast risk areas to the safer prepared, host areas and is known as the Crisis Relocation Plan , now being You will be advised as to which part of the program to follow based on the international situation. The role of the Civil Defense Agency is the coordination of all re- sources of the Commonwealth to avert, combat, and minimize the effects of disaster, natural, man-made, or war caused.

  • “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.

  • Boston High School Graduates' Assessments of Their High Schools
    Boston High School Graduates' Assessments of Their High Schools' Role in Preparing Them for College and the Labor Market: Individual Comments from the Followup Survey of Class of 2003 Graduates Prepared by Jacqui Motroni Joseph McLaughlin Andrew Sum Center for Labor Market Studies Northeastern University Boston, MA Prepared for: Boston Private Industry Council Boston, MA March 2005 Introduction Each year since the mid-l 980s, the Boston Private Industry Council has conducted a follow-up survey of graduates from the city's public high schools. The survey of graduates from the Class of 2003 was carried out in the late winter and early spring of 2004. The follow-up survey is primarily designed to track the experiences of individual high school graduates in transitioning to college and the labor market during the first nine to ten months following graduation from high school. Since 1998, the fo llow-up questionnaire has included an open-ended question requesting respondents (including the parents of graduates) to provide an assessment of their high schools' effectiveness in preparing them for college and/or the job market. The responses to this question are coded by researchers within CLMS 1 and used to prepare a statistical analysis of the findings • A fom1al research paper summarizing and assessing the findings of an analysis of their comments also has been prepared by the authors. In this repo11, we present the specific comments provided by each individual graduate who responded to this question. Findings are displayed by high school in alphabetical order. This repo11 together with the research paper presenting the statistical analysis should be helpful to principals, counselors, career specialists, and teachers in identifying graduates' appraisals of the contributions and limitations of their high school programs.

  • Wednesday, March 18, 2020 Dear School Committee Members, Thank You for Taking the Time to Read Our Letter
    Wednesday, March 18, 2020 Dear School Committee Members, Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. During this chaotic time, we are seeing the inequities within our community boldly highlighted. The resource gaps are increasingly clear as families decide between childcare and a paycheck, between reducing health risk and paying rent. As this situation will almost surely become more dire for many families within our school communities, we ask you to look with a more scrutinizing eye on the budget proposal you have laid out for the P.A. Shaw for SY20-21. We at the P.A. Shaw school community, including educators, families, and students, are facing our second year of significant budget cuts. These budget cuts are clearly reflective of the declining enrollment of our school that began in SY17-18. In the spring of 2018, BPS announced that, contrary to what was previously told to families, the P.A. Shaw would end at Grade 3. This meant that all of the families who had students in the third grade had to rush to find a school placement for their child or to accept their 4th grade seat at the Mildred Avenue School. This not only disempowered families but it was the catalyst for near twenty percent decline in enrollment in only two years as evidenced below: SY 18-19 SY 19-20 SY 20-21 # of Students: 204 # of Students: 174 # of Students (projected): 168 Educators at the P.A. Shaw hear stories constantly from families who feel forced to leave our school. Families who have a child in the third grade and a child in kindergarten feel forced to move both children to a different school in order to avoid juggling two school locations, two drop offs, and two pick up times.

Peters 2017 ABSTRACT RECLAIMING THE NARRATIVE: BLACK COMMUNITY ACTIVISM AND BOSTON SCHOOL DESEGREGATION HISTORY 1960-1975 Lyda S. Peters Dennis Shirley, Chair This research study is a historical analysis of Boston school desegregation viewed through the lens of Black Bostonians who gave rise to a Black Education Movement. Its purpose is to place Boston’s school desegregation history in a markedly different context than many of the narratives that evolved since Morgan v. Hennigan (1974). First, it provides a historical connection between the 18th and 19th century long road to equal schooling and the 20th century equal educational opportunity movement, both led by Black activists who lived in Boston. Second, it provides a public space for the voices of 20th century activists to tell their accounts of schooling in Boston. The narrators in this study attended Boston public schools and became leaders and foot soldiers in the struggle to dismantle a racially segregated school system.

  • Busing in Boston: a Research Guide Moakley Archive and Institute [email protected]
    Busing in Boston: a research guide Moakley Archive and Institute www.suffolk.edu/moakley [email protected] Busing in Boston: a research guide Introduction The Moakley Archive and Institute at Suffolk University has many resources that illustrate the controversy surrounding school desegregation in Boston during the 1970s. Boston’s busing crisis was sparked in 1974 with the ruling of Judge Arthur Garrity in the case of Tallulah Morgan et al. v. James Hennigan et al. Garrity ruled that the Boston School Committee had “intentionally brought about and maintained racial segregation” in the Boston Public Schools and he implemented a plan that bused students to different schools to create racial balance. At the time of the ruling, Congressman John Joseph Moakley represented South Boston, one of the neighborhoods most directly affected by the busing plan. Research Guide Sections 1.

Board of Education of Topeka et al. (347 U.S. 483), which asserted that separate educational facilities for black and white students were inherently unequal, and school districts must integrate their public schools.
