Current Initiatives
LFB is currently working on these issues:
Keeping / restoring leveled claseses in 9th grade at BHS: The deleveling of 9th grade English is currently paused by Brookline High School but has not been taken off the table. For English, we support giving students options to choose the level that is right for them, be it college prep, a heterogeneous class, or an honors-level class.
For WHISP (9th grade world history), which was deleveled without a full public hearing in 2019, we continue to request its full assessment and a re-leveling of 9th grade WHISP classes at Brookline High School so that an honors-level 9th grade social studies class is once again offered.
Increasing access to AP classes at BHS. Read our White Paper on the topic.
Supporting and promoting data-based policy-making in the Public Schools of Brookline.
In the longer run, other initiatives in which we’re interested include:
The addition (restoration) of enrichment options in middle school
Science fairs for all K-8 schools
Math clubs for all K-8 schools
