Message from the Superintendent
The Boston Public Schools has initiated a comprehensive school improvement and ac-
countability effort. The context for this was provided by the development of School-Based
Management and by the Boston Teachers' Union Contract of 1989. The mechanism for ac-
countability has been put in place through the development of Armual and Three-Year School
Plans. The use of the planning process and multiple indicators of school performance allows
schools to address their particular needs while providing a fuller and more complete picture of
how well schools are educating our children.
This Educational Planning Resource Guide is offered to the BPS school community as a
way to help schools carry out all phases of the educational planning cycle. It is organized by
the various components of the cycle and is intended to be a "living" document, revised, up-
dated, or added to as necessary.
Lois Harrison-Jones, Superintendent
