WBZ NEWSRADIO 1030 - Shakeups planned at some Boston schools


WBZ NEWSRADIO 1030 - Shakeups planned at some Boston schools:

"14 Boston public schools have received an ultimatum from school department officials: improve student test scores, or else your school might be closed.

The ultimatum is contained in a five-year strategic plan unveiled Wednesday night by Superintendent Carol Johnson.

The plan outlines the school district’s direction and priorities for closing access and achievement gaps and graduating all public school students from high school prepared for college and career success.

Dr. Johnson presented a working draft of the plan during a meeting of the Boston School Committee at Orchard Gardens K-8 School in Roxbury."
