Focus Areas

Brookline schools should be a place where students of all backgrounds and abilities can maximize their learning and academic potential and receive an excellent education that prepares them for college and/or the real world. We believe in providing differentiated instruction and support that meets each student where they are and a course offering with multiple levels offered for older students. We also believe that a Brookline education should foster open dialogue in the classroom, preparing our students to deal with difficult and complex subjects that they will grapple with in the real world.

PSB’s ability to serve its students is contingent on the financial health and sustainability of our schools. Annual budget cuts create uncertainty for teachers and staff as well as for parents and students. BPO believes that strong financial stewardship is critical to the excellence of Brookline schools and that the recent budget cycle has eroded community trust that must be regained.

The BPO advocates for the thoughtful use of technology in the classroom and for Brookline schools to assess its current tech usage. Districts across the U.S. are actively debating about how best to utilize technology, including AI, within the classroom: which ed-tech products to use, how often to use them, and for which grades and subjects.
