Boston Schools Fund Annual Report 2021-22
AT BOSTON SCHOOLS FUND, WE WAKE UP EVERY DAY TO CREATE GREATER ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY SCHOOLS. For too long, a child’s educational outcomes have been most influenced by factors outside their control: where they live, where they come from, who their parents are, or sheer luck. Boston Schools Fund believes that a key to addressing this challenge is giving more children access to schools that best fit their needs and set them up for long-term success. Our holistic approach helps make that vision a reality: we expand access to great schools; keep families and stakeholders informed on issues that impact Boston’s children; bring together partners to advocate for change; and actively foster a team that leads through the lens of diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism. We believe that, taken together, these strategies will positively impact Boston’s children, especially those who have historically lacked access to high-quality schools: Black and Latinx students, students with disabilities, and English learners.

“<br />
Right now, BSF is<br />
strategically positioned to<br />
continue the work it has always<br />
done - investing nimbly to<br />
expand high-quality schools in<br />
<strong>Boston</strong>, developing relationships<br />
with key education leaders,<br />
policymakers, and advocacy<br />
organizations, building an<br />
open and accessible fact base<br />
on school quality, and gaining<br />
a deep understanding of the<br />
issues most pertinent to <strong>Boston</strong><br />
families. The Barr Foundation’s<br />
Education Program is an<br />
enthusiastic supporter and<br />
partner with BSF in these<br />
vital efforts.<br />
