Worcester, MA (October 8, 2015) - Melinda Boone cared about one thing during her tenure as superintendent: what was best for the kids of the Worcester Public Schools.
With the support of dedicated teachers, parents and her staff, Dr. Boone has significantly lowered the Worcester Public Schools' dropout rate. That means hundreds of Worcester kids who, rather than dropping out, now have high school diplomas. That's real impact and real leadership. Dr. Boone has also been a partner to the City on modernizing our school facilities. With her help, we've replaced windows and roofs and boilers in schools across the City. And we've started on the path to a brand new $58 million Nelson Place School.
I wish Dr. Boone the best on her next chapter, and I look forward to working with the next superintendent to provide the very best education possible for our young people.
