State education leaders will begin a review of the Boston Public Schools system Monday. Officials will observe classrooms, interview staff and analyze data at more than three dozen schools and the district’s central office.
It’s the second time in nearly three years the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has undergone a review of the district.
An audit in 2019 found “major structural challenges” inside Boston Public Schools (BPS). It showed that nearly three dozen of its schools were considered low-performing according to state standards, that the district was not adequately serving English learners and that the special education department was in “systemic disarray.”
