Boston can be a beacon for education.

We believe a healthy educational ecosystem for Boston is:

Driven by an inclusive balance of family and student voice.

Bound to political accountability.

Resourced interdependently with other city sectors.

Fully invested in school leaders, teachers, staff, and partners.
