“The Boston Teachers Union congratulates Dr. Brenda Cassellius on her selection as the new Superintendent of Boston Public Schools. We applaud her commitment to equity and appreciate her first-hand experience at all levels of education. The BTU welcomes her and looks forward to a long, collaborative relationship with Dr. Cassellius. To start, we hope to resolve our long-standing need for a new contract that helps ensure the schools our students deserve. We are eager to work with Dr. Cassellius to reach an agreement that includes proper staffing for special education inclusion programs for students in every Boston Public School, to provide for a full-time nurse and licensed counselor in every school, and to address student homelessness through initiatives including Hub Community Schools.”
