Action Required: Elected School Committee
Mayor Michelle Wu has indicted that she's not in favor of an elected School Committee, despite the fact that 80% of Bostonians made their voices heard in the 2022 election.
​
We need you and everyone in your network to send the message that this must be a priority for the Mayor and City Council.
​
Here's how:​
​
-
Use our Action Network campaign tool to send Mayor Wu an email that you want an elected Boston School Committee and that you expect her to sign these important petitions.
-
Call the mayor's office at 617-635-4500
-
It's quick and easy to leave your message with a staffer and go on record in support of democratic governance in Boston Public Schools.
-
Share this information with other parents and among your networks on social media, in- person, and at community events.
​
Will you speak up to make sure the Mayor and City Council know how important this change is to Bostonians like you?
