ALT Over the last several days Superintendent Brenda Cassellius, Boston School Committee Chair Jeri Robinson, and I have been in conversation together about the Boston Public Schools (BPS)—our progress, future, and leadership. Today, we are announcing a mutual decision that the Superintendent will transition out of her role leading the district at the end of this school year. We have come to this decision after careful deliberation, with mutual respect for all involved and an acknowledgment that there is much work still to be done this school year and beyond. I am so grateful for the Superintendent’s leadership, especially while navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, and for her courage in addressing needed structural changes within our district. She has given Boston three years of strong leadership and service, and we are a better city for it.

ALT I am grateful that Superintendent Cassellius will continue to lead BPS through the remainder of this school year to ensure a strong finish to the semester and a smooth transition for our BPS students, families, and dedicated school leaders and staff. The reforms that the Superintendent will continue to lead during this time will set our course for the coming years. We will have more to share in the weeks to come on new leadership for BPS, but for today, please join Chair Robinson and me in thanking and celebrating Superintendent Cassellius for her service, and for her unwavering commitment to Boston’s youth.
