Mayor Thomas M. Menino has announced that applications are being accepted for two positions on the Boston School Committee, the governing body of Boston Public Schools BPS.
Boston School Committee members are appointed to serve four-year staggered terms. When vacancies exist, the Mayor selects members from a list of candidates recommended by a 13-member Citizens Nominating Panel composed of parents, teachers, principals, and representatives of the business and higher education communities. Under the legislation that established the appointed School Committee, “the Mayor shall strive to appoint individuals who reflect the racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of the city.”
The terms of Helen M. Dajer and Elizabeth G. Reilinger will expire on January 4, 2010. Dajer was appointed to the Boston School Committee in 2005, having previously served as the Co-Chair of the Student Assignment Task Force. Dr. Reilinger was first appointed to the Committee in 1994 and served as its chair from 1998-2008. In 2007, Dr. Reilinger received the prestigious Richard R. Green Award from the Council of Great City Schools for outstanding urban school board leadership.
Anyone interested in applying must submit an application by 1:00 PM on November 12, 2009. Applications are available at
www.cityofboston.gov
or at
www.bostonpublicschools.org
All applicants must be residents of Boston.
The Boston School Committee is responsible for defining the vision, mission and goals of BPS; establishing and monitoring the annual operating budget; hiring, managing and evaluating the Superintendent; and setting and reviewing district policies and practices to support student achievement.
