Who We Are

SchoolFacts Boston is founded and run by Boston families committed to working together to improve education for all in Boston. SchoolFacts Boston recognizes that families have different needs, thoughts, and opinions when it comes to schools and education. We work to bridge differences by fostering dialogue, providing fact-based information, and through the creation of avenues for families to work collaboratively on the education issues most important to them.

SchoolFacts Boston is committed to transparency, and we focus on issues and priority areas based on the recommendations of our Family Advisory Board.

Our Family Advisory Board (FAB) is made up of parents, alumni, students, teachers, and other Bostonians who are committed to creating schools and school systems that create opportunity for all of the city’s children and families. The FAB meets quarterly to discuss Boston education issues, and to determine the priority areas for SchoolFacts Boston to focus its work.

Over the next year, the FAB will grow to at least 40 members that reflect the demographics of Boston families of school-aged children. FAB members serve finite terms in order to open seats to other Boston families.
