4 markROOSEVELT and Pittsburgh Public Schools Q & A

MARK ROOSEVELT became Superintendent of the Pittsburgh Public Schools in August. He was the co-author of sweeping educational reforms in Massachusetts, where he served as a state legislator from 1986-1994. For four years, he was House chairman of the Joint Committee on Education there, and in 1994, Roosevelt was the Democratic nominee for Massachusetts Governor. Before coming to Pittsburgh, he was Managing Director of the Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education. He had ear- lier served as President and CEO of the Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives. He has an undergraduate and a Law degree from Harvard University. He is the great grandson of Theodore Roosevelt. A graduate of the Broad Superintendents Academy, Roosevelt and the School Board want to significantly improve edu- cational quality and bring financial and operational efficiency to the Pittsburgh Public Schools. In March, the school board voted 6-3 to approve his plan. It calls for closing 22 elementary and middle schools at the end of the school year; expanding 10 elementary schools into K-8 schools and turning eight low-performing schools into more challenging “accelerated learning academies.”

Q. Has the effort to bring change to the schools been what you expected?

A. I underestimated the size of the task of doing the school clos- ings. In a certain sense, it's unfortunate that the first thing I had to do was close schools. It's a hard way to start a relationship, with a painful event for parents. I've gone to well over 50 public meetings where 90 percent of the conversation is “Why are you closing our schools?” The positive side is it probably makes it very clear that we mean business. It's also given us an opportunity for a new model for doing business — letting issues of achievement drive decision mak- ing. That gives a preview of how we're going to do everything. And creating eight new schools might have been more difficult to accomplish outside of the context of right-sizing.

Q. What do you want to accomplish? Pittsburgh Public Schools Superintendent Mark Roosevelt talks about his goals for improving the district. On pages 6-9, see A.

The supporting organizations are separate entities that are exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Each qualifies for the highest federal income tax deduction as a public charity because its charitable activities complement and further the charitable activities of The Pittsburgh Foundation. While they are separate entities, The Pittsburgh Foundation handles all administrative issues for the supporting organizations, relieving the donors of any administrative burden.
