BPS Autonomy Report Appendices Update on BPS School Autonomy Research May 7, 2014 © Education Resource Strategies, Inc., 2013 Project goal “The Autonomy Team is charged with creating a recommended vision for autonomous schools in Boston. It should seek to answer the following questions: . Should all schools within BPS operate within autonomous structures? . Is autonomy a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for success? . How and under what conditions should autonomy be granted? . Should autonomy be withdrawn based on certain conditions? . In what areas should autonomy be granted (governance, curriculum/assessment, scheduling/calendar, staffing, budget, professional development)?” Superintendent John McDonough October 1, 2013 1 Four types of autonomous schools in BPS . Created by agreement between the BPS and BTU in 1995 Pilot schools . Operate based on Pilot Schools Manual, developed by Pilot school leaders . Negotiate working conditions with teachers, codified in school-specific Election to Work Agreements (EWAs) . Created by the state legislature in 2010 Innovation . Operate under individual Memoranda of Understanding with BPS, based on schools Innovation Plans approved by the School Committee . Like Pilot schools, each Innovation school also has its own EWA . Created by the state legislature in 2010 Horace Mann . Authorized by the state Charter schools . Operate with autonomies similar to that of Commonwealth charter schools . Working conditions are further detailed in a MOU with the district . Created by the state legislature Turnaround . Selected by the district for increased support after “Level 4” designation schools . Granted some of the budget, staffing, and time flexibility that Pilot & Innovation schools have . Staff receive stipends for increased time . Retain significant flexibility from the terms of collective bargaining agreements 2 Types of autonomies available to schools Student selection, Determine how many and which students enroll program and size Specify the student populations it will serve with special programs Budget Discretion on allocating the entire budget Budget using average or actual teacher salary Buy back certain discretionary services from the district Purchase certain services or staff from outside partners Staffing Convert staff positions to dollars Change the number and types of staff it chooses Re-define or expand individual roles Hiring Hire candidates of their choice Define roles and responsibilities for staff positions Interview and hire candidates from inside or outside the district Schedule and Alter the master schedule calendar Lengthen the school day or year without incurring full costs Curriculum and Decide which texts and supplies to buy assessment Deviate from district-assigned curriculum and interim assessments Professional Specify the amount of professional development and collaborative time teachers spend development Determine the use of available professional development time Opt into or out of district-provided professional development services Compensation Vary base salary Increase teacher salary or stipends based on individual teacher responsibilities 3 Why focus on autonomy now? . More than 30% of BPS students now attend a school with significant Critical mass autonomies over key decisions . Though each school starts with a unique mix of student needs, Evidence of impact assessment data indicates that students at autonomous schools are achieving at above-average levels . Autonomous school leaders have developed creative approaches to Innovation staffing, curriculum and resource use that have been out of the reach for leaders in traditional schools Many paths to . Multiple structures for autonomy (Pilot, Innovation, Horace Mann, autonomy Turnaround, Discovery) create a lack of transparency and consistency . Teachers excessed from autonomous schools land in traditional Resolve systemic schools; some schools opt out of district services with no tensions commensurate reduction in district budget; and more 4 Our approach Data analysis • Documentation of school autonomies • Student demographics, choice, proficiency • Teacher demographics and compensation • Budgets and resource use Cross-functional work group In-depth analysis of peer districts • 15 district leaders • Baltimore • Lawrence, MA • 17 school-based staff • Denver • New York City • Monthly workshops • Los Angeles • Deep-dives on budget buybacks and accountability ~100 BPS interviews and focus groups • 40+ School leaders • 30+ Central office leaders • 15+ Teachers • 5 others, including BTU and state officials 5 Autonomous schools are no longer the exception in Boston Types of autonomous schools 45 Receivership 41 In-District Transformation 40 Innovation 36 Turnaround 33 Horace Mann Charter 32% of BPS Pilot 23 students will 21 18 19 19 20 20 attend an 13 autonomous 11 11 11 9 10 school next year 6 7 2001 2013 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2014 Source: http://www.bostonpublicschools.org/Page/941 6 As charters expand, BPS’s student population growth lags 90,000 Compound annual growth rate 80,000 1995-2006 2007-2012 Commonwealth Charter +14.9% +9.0% 70,000 Parochial -4.1% -4.7% 60,000 Private +1.7% +2.6% METCO* +1.0% +0.2% 50,000 Boston Public Schools** -0.8% +0.3% 40,000 Overall -0.7% +0.6% 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 * METCO is a state-run program that enables low-income minority youth from Boston and Springfield to attend school in “racially isolated” suburbs ** Includes Horace Mann Charters Source: DESE, ERS analysis 7 Student demographics and incoming proficiency, by school type 5+ points less 5+ points more Within 5 points of KEY: needy than needy than Traditional schools Traditional schools Traditional schools Special Education ELL School School # of % Incoming % free or % any % Level % any % Level level Type Schools Proficiency* reduced lunch level 4** level 1-3*** Traditional 53 64 78 19 9 33 19 Pilot 8 63 70 25 12 24 11 ES/K-8 Innovation 4 62 75 20 11 26 15 HMC 2 n/a 85 13 4 26 16 Turnaround 6 57 85 18 9 38 22 Gr 6 Gr 9 Traditional 16 43 34 85 22 10 31 17 Pilot 10 23 53 85 18 7 18 8 MS/HS Innovation 2 n/a 21 92 34 18 33 17 HMC 4 41 46 84 20 5 15 3 Turnaround 4 29 23 85 17 7 33 22 Exam 3 n/a n/a 53 2 0 1 0 * Proficiency data excludes 24 schools (18 ES/K-8 and 6 MS/HS) due to limited data (<10 data points).For ES/K-8, data represent DIBELS proficiency of incoming Kindergartners.

    Saturday, January 26, 2019 Saturday, January 26, 2019 Dear students and educators, Greetings and welcome to the 51st annual Berklee High School Jazz Festival. We are so pleased that you are here with us to experience a wonderful day highlighting jazz education and music-making by talented artists. Our participants embody the very best of high school instrumental and vocal jazz in large and small ensemble combinations, as well as solo vocalists in our specialized Jazz Singer Showcase category. We are very proud that our event is the largest of its kind in the United States, featuring thousands of student performers representing public and private high schools from across the country. It also represents hundreds of music educators at the top of their craft who empower and influence students with their teaching every single day. None of the students would be here without their teachers and we honor, appreciate, and acknowledge this fact. One of our goals with the festival is to provide enriching opportunities for young artists to experience jazz from multiple angles (i.e., performing, attending clinics and exhibits, and hearing performances by other musicians). In addition, we recognize the power of bringing music teachers together to showcase the talents and efforts of their students, expand their professional networks, and inspire each other. Accordingly, throughout the day, we have scheduled time for all of these activities, and we encourage you to explore and take advantage of the festival’s many facets. This year, we are pleased to announce that Thomas “TL” Lizotte, band director for Cape Elizabeth High School in Maine, will receive the John LaPorta Jazz Educator of the Year Award.

    AkeelahAkeelah and the BEE October 21 - November 20, 2016 Nov. 17, 18 & 20 2 Wheelock Family Theatre Akeelah and the BEE 3 October/November 2016 Dear Wheelock Family Theatre-goers, As the third show of our 35th season, we’re thrilled to be producing Robert and Willie Reale’s musical A Year with Frog and Toad, based on the beloved books by Arnold Lobel. Written for early readers, Lobel’s stories about friendship have been enjoyed for many generations by people of all generations. A Year with Frog and Toad was originally performed at Children’s Theatre Company and on Broadway by an ensemble of five adult actors. WFT continues to demonstrate its commitment to inclusive professional theatre experiences by casting 21 young thespians to perform alongside seven professional adult actors. WFT also has a strong commitment to accessibility and affordability, and provides tickets and tuition assistance for over 8,000 children, families, and organizations annually with our Theatre for All Fund. At a special benefit performance on April 30, we present the 2016 WHEEL Award – which celebrates individuals who share our commitment to children and families, and belief that the arts transform lives – to Willie Reale. Penning the book and lyrics of A Year with Frog and Toad is but one of Willie Reale’s con- tributions. In 1981, the same year our founders established WFT in Boston, Reale founded the 52nd Street Project to bring children from NYC’s Hell’s Kitchen together with professional theatre artists to create original plays. He was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in recognition of his ingenuity in creating theatre education programs for young people in 1994.
