Bonus Episode: How BPS Changed the Exam School Policy
Manage episode 381657471 series 3350383
On July 14, 2021, the Boston School Committee unanimously approved a new admissions policy for Boston's three exam schools: Boston Latin School, Boston Latin Academy, and the John D. O'Bryant School of Mathematics and Science. Now, after the policy’s first full year of implementation, questions have been raised about its “unintended consequences.”
School Committee members and the public have called for changes to be made to this policy to address these unintended consequences, and at the last School Committee meeting, Superintendent Mary Skipper promised to prepare a memo for tonight’s meeting outlining the historical context and rationale for the policy change.
In anticipation of that discussion tonight, we thought it might be helpful for our listeners to hear excerpts directly from the 2021 Exam School Admissions Task Force meetings and School Committee meetings where the new policy was conceived, proposed, and approved. Today, we recap those events in a special bonus episode of “Last Night at School Committee.”
