"Wu used the speech to tout recent successes, announce new programs, and broadly outline a goal of making Boston Public Schools one of the best districts in the country. She called on local institutions to increase their partnerships with BPS, and announced efforts to pursue a new round of these collaborations. Wu, a BPS mother herself who is on the verge of officially securing a second term, portrayed the district as resilient and ready to embrace the future."
""This is Boston, and we reject the idea that urban public schools are doomed to do less. That kids are better off when politicians send tax dollars to private schools. Or that because billionaires have given up on public education, we should, too," she said. The city, she said, has been "a target in the federal political storm" due to funding cuts from the Trump administration. She blamed the federal government for attempting to "dismantle public education by neglect and by force.""
Boston held its first-ever State of the Schools address to a packed auditorium at Chinatown's Josiah Quincy Upper School. The address touted recent successes, announced new programs, and set a goal to make Boston Public Schools one of the best districts in the country. City leadership called on local institutions to increase partnerships with BPS and announced efforts to pursue new collaborations. The city characterized the district as resilient, highlighted operational improvements—more buses arriving on time and nearly all meals prepared with fresh food—and noted that BPS has jumped more than 28 districts and is no longer in the state's bottom 10%.
