Exchanging views, insights, and knowledge, Mayor Walsh, Boston School Committee members, and corporate leaders gather at the Boston College Club in the Financial District to share their experiences and speak about the vital role education plays in our society.
A
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
spend
the
morning
in
the
schools
this
morning
and
to
be
with
us
today,
as
you
all
come
back
from
break
as
we
get
started.
I
just
want
to
thank
a
few
people.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
Bank
of
America
for
their
continued
support,
principal
partner
and
of
the
schools,
the
organizations
and
programs
which
benefit
bps
students
across
the
city,
as
well
as
teachers
and
families.
A
Specifically
me,
Hal,
Chamberlain,
Alicia,
Verity
and
bps
board
chair,
chad,
gifford
BP
board
member
kerry
sullivan
is
is
could
not
be
with
us
today,
but
I
would
like
to
thank
her
as
well
as
well
as
BP
board
member
mora
Banta
from
IBM.
I'd
like
to
recognize
and
thank
mayor
walsh
and
ron
Dorsey
superintendent,
Chang,
Makeba,
McCreary
and
other
bps
leaders
and
staff
Boston
school
couldn't
screw
up.
Boston
school
committee
members,
Jerry
Robinson,
Regina,
Robinson
and
chair
Michael,
O'neill
Oh.
B
A
A
I'd
like
to
recognize
representative
Pais
who's,
the
co-chair
of
the
Joint
Committee
on
education
and
acting
commissioner
Wolfson
from
the
from
Massachusetts
Department
of
elementary
and
secondary
education.
Nice
to
have
you
both
here
and
finally,
because
today's
principle
partners
I'd
like
to
ask
all
the
bps
principals
in
the
room
to
stand
up.
Please.
A
A
It's
how
impressed
each
person
was
with
the
principle
they
shadowed
and
how
they
came
away,
even
if
they
came
into
the
morning
with
this,
how
they
came
away
with
a
deeper
respect
and
appreciation
for
the
complexity
of
the
task
of
being
a
principal
in
the
Boston,
Public,
Schools
and
I
personally
know
of
no
job
like
that
as
hard
in
this
complexion.
That
asks
as
much
of
a
person.
A
A
But
if
we
fail
to
do
so,
we
risk
leaving
many
of
our
students
and
their
families
and
their
children
on
the
outside
of
one
of
the
most
exciting
and
prosperous
economies
in
the
world.
I
was
lucky
enough
recently
to
spend
a
few
days
in
Switzerland
learning
about
their
vocational
training
system,
so,
unlike
in
the
u.s.
vocational
education
in
Switzerland,
is
not
seen
as
a
low
track.
Instead,
over
two-thirds
70%
of
students
engage
in
some
kind
of
vocational
track.
A
There
are
230
professional
official
professions,
anything
from
hair
stylists
to
chemical
engineer
and
each
sector
partners
with
the
government
to
develop
a
set
of
industry
qualifications,
assessments,
curriculum
essentially
answering
the
question.
What
does
a
young
person
need
to
know
and
be
able
to
do
to
qualify
for
an
entry-level
position
in
this
industry,
and
students
learn
what
they
need
to
know
in
school,
in
training,
centers,
co-sponsored
by
industry,
in
schools
and
in
ships.
A
A
Now,
I'm,
not
arguing
that
we
should
just
copy
Switzerland,
but
I
do
want
to
argue
two
things.
The
first
is
that
we
need
a
systematic
approach
to
ensuring
that
our
young
people
have
access
to
Boston's
economy
in
the
years
to
come,
and
the
second
is
that
we
can't
do
it
without
all
of
you.
We
need
your
know-how,
your
mentors
apprentices,
apprenticeships,
jobs
and
guidance
to
build
the
schools,
our
students
need
and
to
build
bridges
with
you
that
our
students
can
traverse.
A
D
Thanks
Jesse,
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
Thanks
for
caring
to
go
to
the
schools,
lorrison
and
I
were
at
the
Burke
School,
and
it
just
seems
to
me
that
if
more
of
our
colleagues
in
leadership,
past
present
and
future
could
visit
a
school
and
see
what
the
principals
and
the
teachers
are
doing,
the
challenges
they
have.
D
It
just
gives
you
a
better
idea
of
the
challenges
we
face
in
today's
society.
Education
is
the
leveler
and
the
better
job
we
can
do
the
more
we
can
learn
about
it.
It
will
be
too
the
great
great
advantage.
I
think
we
gain
as
we
were
leaving
today.
Laura
and
I
are
at
the
Burke
and
dr.
McIntyre
who's
a
she's,
a
whirling
dervish
she's,
taken
a
turn
around
school
to
level
three
and
will
be
improving,
I'm
sure
and
she's,
and
she
said
well
thanks
for
coming.
D
That
means
a
great
deal
when
folks,
like
you,
I
think
she
was
talking
about
Laura,
take
time
of
their
day
to
learn
about
what
we're
doing
so.
I
just
think
it's
a
win-win
all
around
but
I
have
the
the
lusty
responsibility
of
introducing
our
mayor.
I
told
him
this
was
going
to
be
brief
because
he
didn't
need
a
whole
lot.
D
I
think
he
just
want
a
reelection
by
a
tight
margin
of
some
30
points,
and
if
you
read
anything,
if
you
know
anything
about
Marty
now,
I'll
tell
you
one
thing
about
Marty
Walsh
is
he
knows
the
the
brilliance
of
working
and
the
importance
of
working
with
the
business
community.
That's
what
a
mayor
has
to
do
to
be
as
successful
as
he
has
today,
but
if
you've
read
anything
about
him,
know
anything
about
him
education.
D
He
damn
well
expects
to
make
a
difference
during
his
tenure
as
mayor
and
just
improving,
improving
improving
the
opportunities
for
the
kids
of
the
future,
because
God
knows
they
deserve
it
in
this
country.
Right
now,
we
need
it
so
again,
me
home
Alicia.
Thank
you
for
hosting
I'm,
very
proud
that
the
bank
continues
to
be
a
leader
back
to
Mayor
Walsh
Marty.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
We
appreciate
it
very
much
the
mayor
of
Boston,
Marty,
Walsh,.
E
The
Berk
is
great
and
I
want
to
thank
Laura
as
well
for
going
the
Berk
school
is
so
many
great
things
happening
at
the
Berk
and
thank
you
two
years
ago,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
they
had
a
tough
year,
one
of
their
students
got
killed
in
front
of
the
school
and
and
and
the
leadership
of
that
school
rallied
around
each
other,
and
this
year
they
had
an
incredible
year
also
as
well
that
so
thank
you
for
that.
I
want
to
thank
I
just
want
to
get
to
a
few
thinkers
Michal.
E
E
Jesse.
Thank
you
as
well
for
for
laying
out
we
go
for
laying
out
your
speech.
Yet
I
heard
you
I
heard
you
what
you
said
and
it's
important
for
us
that
we
continue
to
to
make
sure
that
we
prepare
our
young
people
for
the
future
and-
and
we
have
to
do
that
now,
we
have
to
do
that,
and
sometimes
this
means
to
be
disruptive
and
I.
E
Think
that
after
this
election
is
over
now
now
it's
time
to
be
disruptive
in
some
ways
in
the
Boston
Public
School
System
when
I
say
that
I
said
in
a
very
positive
way,
but
we
are
gonna,
be
disruptive
and
we
are
gonna
change
the
way
we
do
things
dr.
Chang.
Thank
you
as
well
feel
leadership,
and
if
what
you're
doing
your
entire
team,
let's
hear
makeva
McCreery
thank
you,
McKee
was
here.
E
Mckee
was
going
to
be
calling
a
lot
of
you
and
some
of
you
over
the
course
the
next,
the
next
few
months
about
about
philanthropic
donations
and
givings,
and
some
of
you
already
involved,
but
I'm
gonna
be
asking
you
for
help
as
well,
because
we
are
gonna
change
the
way
we
do
philanthropy
in
the
school.
We're
gonna
make
sure
that
we
to
the
dollars
to
the
kids
and
I
want
to
thank
you,
Makeba
for
the
work.
E
You're
gonna
do
the
school
committee's
all
here,
Michael
Neal,
our
Chairman
is
here
Regina
and
Jerry
and
Michael
and
cotton,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
all
of
your
great
work
on
the
school
committee,
I'm,
not
sure
if
I
feel
or
anybody
but
I
apologize.
If
I
did
thank
you
for
everyone
today
that
that
went
and
was
I
seen
Matty
Martinez
down
tomorrow,
I
I
said.
Thank
you
for
well.
As
his
principal
today,
I
talked
to
a
few
people
and
the
insight
that
you
get
being
a
principal
is
remarkable.
E
You
get
a
chance
to
see
firsthand
that
you
know
there's
so
much
more.
We
could
be
doing
in
our
schools
and
you
realized
by
being
a
principal,
the
challenges
that
we
have
in
our
school.
We
have
an
old
school
district.
Many
of
you
were
in
a
school
today
that
was
built
before
World
War
two,
we
have
fallout
shelters
in
there
in
case
we
got
attacked
by
the
Russians
we're
all
set.
We
have
the
fallout
shelter
there
that
was
built
for
World
War
Two
in
World
War
one.
E
We
have
to
change
that
and
our
bill
BPS
plan
does
change
that
I.
Build
VBS
plan
allows
us
the
opportunity
for
our
principals
that
are
in
this
room
to
teach
in
a
21st
century
environment,
something
that's
important
for
us
to
do
something
that
we
worked
or
not.
Ron
Joyce,
a
chief
education
worked
in
that
program
before
we
with
a
minute
before
was
the
mihrab
are
so
we
talked
to
what
we
wanted
to
do.
We
rolled
it
out
the
end
of
last
year.
E
We're
gonna
roll
it
out
this
year,
but
how
do
we
continue
to
make
investments
our
teachers
and
our
students
and
our
parents
are
incredible?
People
and
the
support
staff
at
all
of
our
schools
are
incredible
to
do
an
incredible
work,
as
you
saw
today.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
part
of
that
to
help
them,
because
Jesse
made
a
comment,
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
educate
our
young
people.
There
are
people
in
this
room
from
the
for-profit
worlds.
E
We
want
to
educate
our
young
people,
so
they
can
be
potentially
the
future
banks
of
Bank
of
America
presidents
in
Massachusetts
or
our
four
or
our
different
utility
companies
in
Massachusetts.
Your
professors
at
colleges
will
head
to
the
chamber
of
commerce
or
heads
of
industry
or
heads
of
nonprofits,
or
maybe
a
startup
that
that
sells
furniture
and
all
of
a
sudden
now
grows
to
a
little
big
company
in
our
city.
E
That's
what
we
want
to
see
for
the
future
of
our
young
people,
the
people
that
we
all
of
you,
or
maybe
even
the
local
government
or
state
government-
it's
important
for
us
to
do
that.
We
want
to
continue
to
build,
build
an
opportunity
here
for
our
kids
possible.
The
schools
have
made
strong
progress
over
the
last
four
years.
We
have
more
students
in
pre-kindergarten.
We
have
more
learning
time
when
I
first
came
to
this
this
luncheon
my
first
year
as
mayor,
we
had
one
of
the
shorter
school
days
in
the
country.
E
We
no
longer
have
that
short
school
day.
We
have
more
summer
programming,
wheelwright
young
people
are
into
summer
programming
learning
and
enjoying
and
being
active,
but
also
learning,
so
they
don't
lose
the
skills
that
they
learned
during
the
school
year.
We
have
more
of
that
going
on
than
any
other
time
before
our
tenth
grade.
Math,
graduating,
math
scores
and
graduation
rates
are,
at
all
times
highs.
Those
are
celebrations,
but
on
the
other
side
of
that
27
percent
of
our
kids
don't
graduate
high
school.
That's
unacceptable!
That's
not
something
that
we
can
brag
about.
E
That's
something
that
we
have
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
we
get
all
our
kids
graduating
from
high
school
and
putting
them
on
a
pathway
to
success,
whether
it's
college
or
career
for
the
first
time
in
the
history
of
Boston,
all
three
of
our
HCM
schools
are
led
by
a
person
of
color
principals
of
color
and
we're
working
on
recruiting
more
teachers
to
our
districts
because
of
our
kids,
87
percent.
Roughly
of
the
district
is
represented
by
young
people
of
color
that
go
to
our
schools
when
they
go
into
the
classrooms
the
teachers
away.
E
We
have
to
continue
to
recruit
more
teachers
of
color
to
get
into
our
classrooms
so
that
we
can
teach
our
young
people
we're
working
on
getting
back
on
the
right
track.
There.
We
also
talked
about
I,
talked
about
Bill
PPS,
we're
working
on
that
and
we're
also
simplifying
grade
configurations
working
on
grade
configurations
in
Boston
I
said
this
last
last
time,
I
say:
I
think
I
spoke
to
you
look.
We
have
128
schools.
We
have
24
great
configurations.
E
Think
about
that
for
a
minute,
any
one
of
you
in
business
today,
if
you
had
that
type
of
system
you
and
be
here,
so
we're
gonna
change
that
we're
gonna
work
to
that.
We're
gonna
make
sure
that
our
kids
don't
have
to
change
schools
four
five
six
times
in
their
careers
because
they
get
into
different
schools.
We're
gonna
work
on
changing
that
across
the
districts.
We're
also
gonna
work
on
stock
times
and
moving
our
stock
times
around
those
a
little
little
little
a
little
controversy
on
that.
But
we
are
going
to
do
that.
E
We're
going
to
move
on
start
times
and
we're
gonna,
get
it
more
consistent
so
that
we
can
cut
down
a
transportation
cost
to
the
city
of
Boston
and
reinvest
that
transportation
cost
back
in
the
district.
Some
of
you
mentioned
some
of
you
mentioned
nurses
to
me
today
and
and
and
and
and
medical
folks
in
the
schools.
By
doing
that,
we'll
be
able
to
put
more
resources
back
in
the
schools
and
that's
what
our
plan
is.
As
we
move
forward
here,
we're
gonna
be
opening
the
dip
on
stem
six
to
twelve
Academy.
E
E
That's
not
conflicting
it's
about
how
do
we
get
it
done
and
making
sure
that
it
becomes
a
priority
for
all
people
in
state
government,
including
our
governor,
the
senate
president,
making
sure
that
people
fall
in
work
with
us
to
make
sure
this
happens,
that
we
have
to
do
that
so
I'd
suggest
you
as
you
talk
to
your
colleagues
around
the
Commonwealth.
If
you're
not
live
in
Boston,
let
them
know
the
importance
of
universal
pre-kindergarten.
E
Tell
them
that
we
want
it
here
in
Massachusetts
we
needed
in
Massachusetts,
not
every
city
single
city
in
town
needs
it,
but
Boston
wants
it.
Springfield
wants
it.
Loren's
wants
it
some
of
the
ones
that
kids
feel
wants
it
Holyoke
wants
it.
It's
a
theme
here
on
areas
that
we
need
to
make
sure
we
get
it
there.
So
I
want
to
ask
you
for
that.
E
Well,
just
to
wind
up
in
a
second,
we
have
dozens
of
new
Puerto
Rican
students
in
our
district,
not
tech,
not
they're,
not
technically
immigrants,
but
they
need
the
same
supports
that
our
immigrant
community
needs
and
we're
doing
that
in
the
city
of
Boston.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you,
we're
also
working
with
our
Haitian
families
losing
temporary
protected
status.
E
I
said
no
I'm,
not
not
at
all,
because
when
I
walk
into
a
school
and
I
see
a
child,
that's
concerned
about
the
fact
that
their
parent
might
be
taken
from
their
home,
because
somebody
goes
on
TV
and
calls
a
press
conference
every
time
he
gets
in
a
little
heat.
He
starts
talking
about
immigration.
That's
wrong,
threatening
our
young
kids.
In
this
pot
in
this
country
in
this
city
is
wrong.
We
continue
to
fight
for
our
immigrant
students
in
Boston.
30%
of
our
students
are
English
language
learners.
E
It
was
great
to
see
the
bilingual
education
bill
become
law.
Boston
is
a
city
of
immigrants.
We're
gonna
continue
to
be
a
city
of
immigrants,
so
we're
gonna
continue
to
make
sure
that
our
young
people
feel
safe.
I
want
to
I'm
the
biggest.
Thank
you
in
this
room
today
is
that
principle
I
like
to
ask
our
principal
to
stand
up
one
more
time.
E
E
Want
to
thank
our
teachers,
I
want
to
thank
our
principals
and
all
of
the
staff
for
the
different
schools
around
the
city
for
the
work
you
do
every
single
day,
you
probably
have
the
most
important
job
in
the
city
of
Boston.
I
know
that
on
any
given
day,
we
can
talk
about
our
police
or
our
EMS
or
our
fire
department,
or
maybe
even
the
mayor
or
the
mayor's
office
with
City
Council.
E
Or
what
have
you
but
the
most
important
job
every
single
day
in
the
city
of
Boston
is
our
principals
and
teachers,
because
you
are
educating
the
future
of
Boston
Massachusetts
in
the
world.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
passion,
your
care
and
commitment,
and
now
I
have
the
opportunity,
I
think
to
introduce
the
chairman
of
the
Boston
School
Committee,
Mike,
O'neill
and
Regina
Robinson.
F
Thank
You
mr.
Muir
and
I
think
I
got
the
to-do
list
straight
right.
You
know
it's
come
more
coming
right.
We
heard
you
on
disruptive.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
passion.
You
focus
on
the
schools.
You
are
a
tremendous
partner
to
work
with
day
in
and
day
out
and
we're
looking
forward
to
some
great
things.
Coming
up,
the
School
Committee
has
been
very
busy.
F
I
know,
Jesse
was
acknowledging
about
her
or
acknowledge
the
vice
chair,
Hardin
Coleman,
Jerry
Robinson,
which
interval
Vinson
will
speak
in
a
moment
and
Michael
LeConte
over
here
and
two
other
members
could
make
it
today.
But
we
have
a
number
of
things
on
our
agenda
that
may
I
mentioned
most
of
them.
The
great
configuration
bill
bps,
which
we'll
be
announcing
shortly
I,
do
have
one
ask
a
quick
question
about
high
school
start
times.
F
F
You
see,
ok,
quite
a
few
hands
going
up
the
area
and
actually
the
scientific
research
backs
that
up.
So
we
are
trying
to
balance
it
with
the
needs
of
the
students
after
school
with
work
and
jobs
and
athletics.
But
the
academic
research
is
so
clear
on
that,
and
also
how
many
think
that
our
elementary
school
students
shouldn't
still
be
in
school
at
4
p.m.
or
they
are
after
okay,
so
number
of
those
as
well.
So
those
are
the
two
key
things
we're
looking
at
and
we
do
anticipate
making
a
change
on
that.
F
The
School
Committee
will
be
voting
on
that
next
week,
but
I
do
want
to
say.
This
is
really
one
of
my
favorite
days
of
the
year,
because
I
love
when
our
business
and
nonprofit
and
and
legislative
leaders
go
out
and
spend
time
in
our
schools
for
two
reasons.
One
you
get
to
see
the
incredible
work
that
our
high
school
leaders
do
and
our
elementary
school
leaders
and
our
middle
school
leaders
do
day
in
and
day
out.
F
It
is
a
national
model
that
other
districts
are
looking
at
saying
wow.
How
are
you
doing
this
and
that's
the
value
of
partnerships
when
we
take
some
of
the
best
that
we
have
here
in
the
city
and
let's
face
it?
Children's
Hospital
UMass,
Boston
and
bps
together,
focusing
on
our
behavioral
health.
Tremendous
national
model
that
started
right
here
and
the
other
is
the
work
that
the
SHA
foundation.
F
Family
Foundation,
is
doing
right
now
to
completely
rethink
food
service
to
our
students
and
they're
testing
the
hub-and-spoke
model
right
now
in
East
Boston,
where
we're
prepping
school
at
East,
Boston
high
and
delivering
it
where
it's
being
cooked
at
silver,
our
schools
and
we're
looking
at
that
model
nationally.
But
that's
people
taking
business
expertise
and
digging
in
and
not
just
saying,
hey.
You
should
think
of
this,
but
really
Jill
Shar
blessing
you're
becoming
one
of
the
national
authorities
on
school
nutrition.
F
So
thank
you
for
the
the
mindset
that
you
brought
to
really
force
us
to
rethink
this
issue
and
how
can
we
get
fresher
better
food
for
our
students?
It's
partnerships
that,
like
that
that
come
out
of
things
like
this,
so
I'm
very
excited
Alicia
Barrett
a
said
to
me.
She
was
out
of
the
Quincy
school
and
said
boy
I
thought
of
a
really
good
idea
from
today
and
let's
see
if
we
can
talk
later
about
putting
it
in
place.
So
that's
the
ideas
that
we
hear
from
today
that
we
get
so
excited
about.
F
So
thank
you
for
spending
time
in
your
day.
Thank
you
for
building
the
relationships
and
please
push
farther
on
it
versus
you
know,
just
saying
how
can
we
help
dig
in
and
bring
us
these
ideas
and,
let's
see
what
we
can
do
to
together,
make
it
better
for
the
57,000
youth
in
our
queue
and
now
I
want
to
introduce
a
fellow
member
of
Regina
Robinson,
who
is
a
Dean
at
Cambridge,
College,
I
kid?
F
B
So
we've
had
a
show
of
hands
for
a
couple
of
different
reasons,
but
I
want
to
ask
for
a
show
of
hands
if
you
have
already
had
a
couple
of
staff
meetings,
you've
already
met
with
a
couple
of
stakeholders
for
your
organization
before
8
a.m.
on
a
given
day.
Raise
your
hand
if
that
typically
takes
place
at
your
workplace.
B
B
So
hopefully
you
are
able
to
have
a
bit
of
a
glimpse
into
the
life
of
a
principal.
This
morning,
I
mean
seeing
the
vast
amount
of
work
and
creative
energy
that
goes
into
the
day
before
8
a.m.
I
know
that
I
hadn't
had
my
cup
of
Earl
Grey
before
8
a.m.,
and
it
was
quite
amazing
to
see
how
much
work
got
done
even
before
9
a.m.
the
staff
meetings
that
took
place,
the
parent-teacher
meetings
that
I
was
able
to
walk
past
and
I
was
able
to
engage
with
students,
engage
with
teachers.
B
Watch
a
classroom
in
progress.
Ask
a
couple
of
students,
questions
about
what
they
were
reading
and
what
they
were
talking
about
within
their
small
groups,
and
it
was
really
amazing,
but
it
was
before
8
a.m.,
and
so
those
of
you
who
are
able
to
partner
with
us
today
and
you've
done
this
more
than
once.
Please
raise
your
hand
if
you've
done
this
more
than
one
time
excellent.
If
this
was
your
first
time,
please
raise
your
hand,
and
it
won't
be
your
last
correct.
B
What
I
would
love
to
encourage
you
to
do
is
to
encourage
one
of
your
colleagues
when
you
return
to
your
workplace,
encourage
them
to
walk
into
our
schools,
to
see
the
great
work
that
takes
place
to
see
the
great
end
energy
that
every
principal
must
have
as
they're
engaging
and
shifting
gears
with
staff,
with
students
with
parents
and
with
everyone
else
that
they
must
engage.
What
we
are
excited
about
in
bps
is
how
community
really
does
matter.
Your
work
matters,
the
expertise
that
you
bring
to
the
table
really
mad.
B
As
you
encounter
our
school
leaders
and
as
mr.
O'neil
shared
earlier,
it
is
important
for
you
to
give
your
bright
ideas
to
our
school
leaders
as
well,
because
our
partnerships
really
do
make
our
district
better
I
like
to
pick
on
someone
who
may
have
had
a
surprising
experience
this
morning,
who
may
have
seen
something
that
he
or
she
may
not
have
them
seen
before
within
a
school,
so
I'm
going
to
look
around
and
who
won't
get
mad
at
me,
Kristen.
D
B
You
have
a
particular
lens
at
a
school
you
were
able
to
shed
light
on
that
lends
to
the
school
leader
I'm,
seeing
two
female
science
teachers
was
really
engaging
and
we
were
also
able
to
I
know
for
myself,
watching
the
students
connect
the
dots
between
what
took
place
during
Thanksgiving
to
what's
taking
place
within
the
classroom.
Experience
just
small
lessons
like
that
I
was
able
to
engage
and
see
the
teachers
at
work.
B
Once
I
was
able
to
hear
miss
Wilson
talk
about
certain
teachers
who
are
stars
in
their
own
rights
and
then
we
walked
to
their
classrooms.
I
was
really
impressed
to
see
the
work
that
took
place.
It's
important
for
you
all.
As
school
leaders,
we
are
excited
to
see
the
work
that
the
school
leaders
have
in
engaging
our
students,
but
we're
also
excited
for
events
like
today
and
as
mr.
O'neill
shared
partnership
really
matters.
B
If
you
saw
something
that
you
would
like
to
propose
to
the
school
leader
that
you
would
like
your
business
to
engage
with,
it
is
encouraging
and
very
very
important
that
you
lend
your
expertise
to
that
now.
I'd
like
to
introduce
the
person
who
is
able
to
lead
these
efforts
and
to
lead
our
school
leaders,
I
would
like
to
bring
up
dr.
Tommy
Chang,
our
superintendent.
G
G
Our
young
people,
especially
immigrants,
come
from
rich
cultures
of
resilience
and
it's
our
job
to
make
sure
they
feel
safe,
welcomed
affirmed
in
sustaining
our
school.
So
thank
you
for
your
passion.
As
always
talking
about
this
important
issue.
This
is
such
a
great
event.
Thank
you.
Awesome
plan
for
excellence
for
once
again
hosting
this
event.
Thank
you
to
our
principals
for
your
leadership.
G
The
mayor
and
trim
O'neill
talked
about
a
lot
of
great
work
that
is
happening
within
bps.
Let
me
also
just
add
a
couple
of
things:
we're
working
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
resources
are
aligned
to
where
needs
are
so
we're
doing
a
lot
of
work
around
something
called
an
opportunity
index
also
encourage
people
to
go
on
to
a
website
called
partner,
bps
org,
it's
a
rebuilt
website
that
shows
all
the
different
partners
have
worked
in
bps
the
work
that
they
do.
G
How
they
align
to
the
mission
of
the
school
system-
and
it
is
work-
that's
been
ongoing-
that
we're
about
to
make
another
really
big.
Another
big
launch
on
the
partner
work
so
encourage
folks
to
check
that
out
as
well.
There
are
57,000
young
people
that
come
to
school
in
Boston,
Public
Schools
every
single
day.
It
is
our
job
to
prepare
them
for
college
career
and
life,
and
when
young
people
meet
individuals
such
as
yourselves,
what
they
are
wondering
is
how
do
they
one
day
become
human?
G
You
are
role
models
for
our
young
people,
you're
leaders
in
the
city,
and
they
want
to
be
one
day
they
wanna
be
in
your
shoes
leading
in
the
city
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
your
participation
in
this
work.
Now
I
have
the
pleasure
an
honor
welcoming
two
young
people
up
here:
I
wanna,
first
of
all,
ask
Malik
hi
Hernandez
to
come
up
in
Malik.
I
can
come
up
here
and
then
Sophia
metals
Meriel
to
come
up
and
as
they
are
coming
up.
I
want
to
tell
a
little
bit
about
both
of
these
young
people.
G
Malachi
Hernandez
is
a
BL,
a
grad
who
began
serving
as
a
courageous
and
fearless
community
advocate
at
the
age
of
14.
He
was
an
active
member
of
the
mayor's
Youth
Council,
my
brother's
keeper
Boston
Weiser
board.
It
was
a
captain
of
the
step
team.
He
also
had
an
opportunity
recently
to
meet
former
President
Barack
Obama
I
believe
right.
G
G
H
Everyone
on
one
sec,
my
name,
is
Malcolm
Janus
I,
attended,
Boston,
Academy
and
graduated
in
May
of
2016,
and
my
experience
with
honesty
and
one
of
a
kind
I
often
tell
people,
especially
around
those
who
are
sitting
in
an
Academy
I
tell
them
I'm,
like
you
know,
I
recognize
that
when
I
was
in
Boston
I'm
happy
that
I
found
it
very,
very
difficult,
I
found
it.
It
was
very
challenging
at
times.
You
know
they'll
be
day
from
well
now.
Cryogen
I
was
like
how
Phyllis,
if
I
can
do
this
one
mode.
H
However,
whenever
I
share
that
story
with
them,
I
was
reminding
that
it's
not
until
you
get
out
of
the
situation
and
out
of
the
conversation
kind
of
recognize
that
sometimes
there
are
great
things
that
come
out
of
it
and
I
get
back
down.
I'm
like
now
that
I've
been
probably
extreme
the
first
generation
of
my
family
to
be
at
Eastern.
There
are
great
Table,
seven
eager
to
apply
to
my
experience
out
of
University,
and
some
people
recommend
a
Boston.
H
Academy
I
was
working
in
the
mayor's
office
at
the
mayor's
office
of
economic
development,
job
areas,
and
that
was
an
incredible
experience.
I
trained
you
know
numerous
skills
that
I
would
have
never
thought
that
will
maintain
as
a
teenager.
You
know
six
at
the
time
ago,
these
people
and
honestly
I
think
that
that
they'll
be
inspired
into
wanted,
create
change.
My
communicate
change
for
myself,
creating
from
offending
my
friends
I
was
also
working
in
the
mayor's
office
of
determinate
engagement
and
the
permanence
involved.
H
You
know,
in
addition
to
the
future
and
the
opportunity
was
more
or
less
in
a
very
direct
experience
with
working
with
youth
and
I
was
hiring
teenagers
for
school
year
and
summer
job
and
to
have
the
impact
of
being
able
to
provide
a
teenager
with
the
opportunity
of
working
maximum
ten
hours
a
week
during
this
Kamiya
was
phenomenal.
You
know
there
would
be
some
you
can
come
to
them
to
us
in
the
office,
and
you
know
when
we
would
have
to
review
some
of
the
great
sometimes
to
even
look.
F
B
H
Great
move
see
that
some
of
these
teams
didn't
have
the
best
grades
and
I
will
be
able
to
sit
them
and
pull
them
aside.
That
type
of
state
we're
disappointed
to
me.
You
know
this
is
an
office
able
to
provide
that
support
the
city's
here
to
help
you
if
they
were
struggling.
You
know
with
anything
at
home.
G
Malakai,
it's
it's
clear
in
what
you
shared.
That
learning
doesn't
only
occur
in
school
there's
a
much
of
what
we
learn
occurs
outside
of
school
and
I
always
believe
that
the
most
authentic
learning
is
learning
that
replicates
adult
life
and
you're
practicing.
What
you
would
have
to
do
is
I.
Don't
he
tell
me
if
you
had
some
advice
to
give
to
folks
what
would
make
for
the
perfect
internship
for
a
VPS
student
I?
Think.
H
Well,
I.
Definitely
do
you
bring
and
I
think
that,
especially
for
high
schoolers,
we
have
to
really
make
sure
you
know
many
times.
I
manipulate
workforce,
because
when
they
receive
those
opportunities
like
I
did
when
I
was
16
at
17
years
old,
it
changed
my
life.
You
know,
I
wouldn't
be
here
today
if
it
weren't
for
those
opportunities.
So
if
we
can
continue
to
reach
out
to
those,
you
can
give
them
opportunities
they.
You
know
how
many
lives
it
will
change
in
the
city.
H
I
think
that,
for
me
the
perfect
internship
looks
like
something
that
I'm
able
to
utilize
all
the
skills
that
I
have
and
all
the
way
may
not
be
much
because
I'm
still
young.
However,
if
I
can
use
those
in
the
workforce
or
in
whatever
environment
that
I'm
in
and
be
able
to
master
them
or
perfect
them
or
make
them
better
by
someone
who
has
who
has
guidance
in
knowledge
in
that
area.
For
me,
I
think
that's
beneficial
I
also
think
the
internship,
that's
you
know
very.
H
Understanding
of
different
cultures
and
different
ethnicities
and
respective
of
device
ideas
I'm
a
difficult
that
can
be
very,
very
important
as
a
person
of
color
and
then
I
also
think
that
honestly
just
opportunity
to
grow
a
network,
especially
as
it
used
for
myself.
You
know
growing
up
in
a
low-income
single
parent
house,
or
they
have
you
know
lunch
time.
Every
age
but
I've
been
able
to.
H
You
know
be
in
certain
pockets
and
in
certain
environments,
where
I
don't
even
have
pushed
myself,
although
it
feels
uncomfortable
at
times,
I
do
I
know
that
I
want
to
change
my
mind.
My
worldview
I
want
to
change
the
situation
that
I'm
in
and
that's
the
case
for
a
lot
of
people
from
school.
They
want
to
change
their.
H
Creating
an
environment
that
that's
challenging
but
fun,
and
you
know
where
the
creativity
has
that's
important,
because
it
will
allow
for
us
to
understand
where
we
need
to
go
where
we
interested
in
enemies
and
that's
very
important
for
LSU,
because
we
like
a
lot
of
things,
we
don't
know
we
wanted
to
realize
you
know
I'm
in
college.
I,
don't
know
that
one
tonight
it
seems
very
right
now,
but
I'm
making
this
next
week
or
a
year
from
now.
You
know
so
I
think
that
definitely
having
a
working
environment.
G
If
I
may
just
quickly
comment
about
what
both
of
you
said,
our
young
people
have
incredible
assets
to
bring
racial,
cultural,
linguistic
assets
and
they
want
to
use
those
assets
to
solve
problems,
and
you
heard
from
both
of
them.
So
please
please,
please.
We
encourage
you
to
find
those
opportunities
for
our
young
people.
One
last
question
for
you:
I'm
gonna
go
a
little
off
script.
G
H
Think
that
my
ass
today
not
only
proud
you
within
the
school
system,
whether
it's
one
to
drink,
but
to
really
really
get
a
hold
of
that
we
get
to
don't
event
for
them
as
well
as
give
them
an
opportunity
to
give
them
a
chance.
Some
of
these,
you
don't
even
have
someone
who
actually
listens
to
them.
You
know
whether
it
be
outside
of
school
inside.
They
might
not
have
that
person
to
hear
their
mark
in
Scenario,
whether
the
eye
clinic
or
not
active
image.
H
So
we
could
be
that
person
for
them
that
that's
a
great
thing,
and
it
was
just
even
riding
that
over
to
me
if
you
can
provide
a
working
opportunity
for
them
and
coach
them
and
post
only
whatever
it
is.
You
know,
and
they
may
not
be
something
that
like,
if
you're
into
the
products
like
they
are
into
financing,
but
the
youth
is
nestled
into
that.
You
mean
talking
to
network
and
connect
to
somebody
else
who
is
within
their
interests.
You
know,
that's,
that's
a
not
much
of
a
large
ask
like
you
know.
H
C
Think
would
you
grab
them?
You
know
they're
a
lot
of
time,
so
she
has
a
teenager,
I'm,
80
years
old,
I've
seen
a
lot
I'm
saying
and
once
you
got
them,
don't
let
go
like
be
there
for
them.
So
when
you
can
call
somebody
attacks
like
literally
Tuesday
I'm
texts,
adage
and
Nadiya
about
like
stupid
things
even
like
time,
you
know
like
the
supremacist
March
a
few
months
ago.
I
was
a
case
should
I
try
to
this
will
I
be
safe
and
the
fact
that
times
just
like
go
I
got
you
it
to
me.
C
C
G
I
I
This
is
not
the
industry
that
has
good
muscle
at
doing
things
in
collaboration
with
lots
of
other
industries,
we're
learning,
but
we
really
need
you
to
make
sure
that
our
young
people
know
how
to
stay
in
this
city
become
a
part
of
the
workforce,
be
the
leaders,
the
entrepreneurs,
the
innovators
of
tomorrow.
We
can't
do
that
by
ourselves.
So
I
really
thank
you
very
much
for
taking
the
time
out
of
your
day
know
that
we
changed
the
name
from
principle
partner
for
a
day
to
principle
partner.
For
a
reason,
it
doesn't
stop
today.
I
So
for
your
colleagues
who
you
think
might
have
enjoyed
this
experience,
be
in
touch,
we
will
make
sure
to
get
you
out
to
a
school.
If
there
was
another
school
that
you
were
really
interested
in,
we
would
be
happy
to
try
to
find
a
way
to
get
you
out
to
that
school,
but
we
also
are
teaching
our
school
leaders
how
to
think
about
partnerships
that
go
beyond
just
writing
checks.
We
love
the
checks,
we
would
take
the
money,
but
we
also.
I
We
want
your
expertise,
we
want
your
skills,
we
want
your
service
and
so
in
our
office,
the
office
of
External
Affairs.
We
think
about
it
as
time
treasure
and
talent,
skills
based
talent,
and
so
we
will
be
following
up
with
you.
You
will
get.
A
survey
may
have
sent
it
out
five
minutes
ago
and
your
email,
both
our
school
leaders
and
you
as
our
business
partners,
please
fill
it
out.
Tell
us
tell
us
what
we
got
right.
Tell
us
what
we
can
do
better.
