Boston's Race Into History: Improving Public Education
Boston’s mayoral candidates have been vowing to improve the city’s public schools for decades—but somehow, the system never quite manages to get where everyone says the want it to go. So what’s the hold-up? And what can the next mayor do—whoever she is—to make BPS work better? In this episode of Boston’s Race Into History, Adam Reilly talks it over with former mayoral candidate John Connolly, Ruby Reyes of the Boston Education Justice Alliance, and Xyra Mercer, a current BPS student and member of Boston’s school committee. First, though, Saraya Wintersmith joins Reilly to discuss recent developments on the mayoral campaign trail, including Annissa Essabi George’s new equity agenda and Senator Ed Markey’s endorsement of Michelle Wu.
