Common Questions WhatisaCommunity A Community School District (I-VIII) is an area of the District School? city with clearly def1.ned boundaries. Each district is further divided into smaller areas called geocodes. Your address within a specific geocode determines your Com­ munity District School. Residents of a particular community school district are entitled to attend their geocoded schools at the elementary and middle school levels. In most cases, the number of high school students in a district exceeds the number of seats available in the district. Students names are picked at random from among all students re­ questing assignment to the Community District High School until no more seats are available in the school. Of course, desegregation goals apply. WhatisaMagnetSchool? A Magnet School is a school offering a distinctive program of instruction that may serve the needs and interests of students from all areas of the city. District IX is the city-wide school district which includes all the magnet programs or components which also are open to students on a city-wide basis. Assignments to magnet schools and programs are made on the basis of student preference, desegregation goals and seat availability. For information regarding Magnet Vocational/Occupational Programs, contact the Office of Career and Occupational Education, 726-6456. · 3 Currently, the Boston Public Schools are under WHY ARE STUDENT orders from the Federal District Court to de­ ASSIGNMENTS NECESSARY? segregate all its schools, at all grade levels, and in all programs to comply with Federal laws and regulations.

Distribution of the report within the school community is the responsibility of the school principal. The final visiting committee report must be released in its entirety within sixty days (60) of its completion to the superintendent, school board, public library or town office, and the appropriate news media. The prime concern of the visiting committee has been to assess the quality of the educational program at this school in terms of the Commission's Standards for Accreditation. Neither the total report nor any of its subsections is to be considered an evaluation of any individual staff member but rather a professional appraisal of the school as it appeared to the visiting committee. Page 2 of 100 STANDARDS FOR ACCREDITATION The Committee on Public Secondary School's Standards for Accreditation serve as the foundation for the accreditation process and by which accreditation decisions are made.

  • East Boston High School Program of Studies 2017-‐ 2018
    East Boston High School Program of Studies 2017- 2018 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Dear Student, My name is Phillip R. Brangiforte, and I am both honored and humbled to be able to address the parents and residents of this community as Headmaster of East Boston High School. Very often in the realm of secondary education, we speak of the word “identity” in relation to our students. Why? Because high school is the period when individuals truly develop lasting identities; when children become young adults; when career aspirations are instilled, and when choices both positive and negative can impact a lifetime. I would ask that you please allow me a brief moment to share my identity with all of you. I am, and will always be, a lifelong resident of East Boston. I could have moved anywhere, but I decided to live and raise my family in the city where my roots were planted. I could have sent my children to any school, but I chose East Boston High because my bloodlines run deep within these walls, as over 40 of my relatives, including my parents, sister, and children have proudly received diplomas from this great institution. As a child growing up on West Eagle Street, I often looked out of my bedroom window at the brick facade of East Boston High, yearning to be one of the kids who poured out of the green doors every afternoon, off to football or baseball practice. Eventually, I wore the blue and gold with such intense pride that after graduating college, I decided to dedicate my life to the betterment of this school and the surrounding community.

  • 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends
    2014 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, From 2010 to 2013, we grew from serving 350 to over 500 youth per year through after-school programming, plus an additional 500 youth through in-school programming at East Boston High School and the Mario Umana Academy. Throughout this growth, we are proud to have successfully maintained our quality of service, and the warmth that has made ZUMIX a “second home” to so many of our participants. Just the other day, Lisnette, one of our 10-year-old participants, said to us, “I love ZUMIX because it’s my family. ZUMIX is like a home to me.” In January 2014, we had the privilege of taking the ZUMIX Jazz Allstars to the Panama Jazz Festival. This was ZUMIX’s second international journey, and one of the highlights of our 23 years of service. In one intensive week of workshops, clinics, presentations, and performances, we saw the transformative power of music in action. Watching them evolve as artists and young adults was a gift beyond words. 2014 was also our busiest year ever in terms of paid work opportunities for our youth. Over the past year, our youth collectively earned over $30,000 as live sound technicians, musicians, radio journalists, and youth staff. Our youth were hired to run sound and perform at numerous events and venues across the city, including Mayor Marty Walsh’s inauguration party, Arts on the Arcade at Faneuil Hall, and many more. When we look at the amazing accomplishments of our youth and alumni, and their dedication to building positive futures for themselves, we are truly inspired.

  • “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.
