City of Boston Opens Applications for Boston School Committee

The Boston School Committee Nominating Panel opened applications for three four-year terms on the Boston School Committee, with a deadline set for November 7, 2025. Selected members will begin their terms on January 1, 2026, as two current members' terms expire, and an additional vacancy will arise when Vice-Chair Michael O’Neill resigns at the end of December. Candidates must be Boston residents, prepared for significant time commitments that include biweekly meetings and connecting with school leaders. The School Committee governs Boston Public Schools, responsible for defining the district's vision, managing the budget, and hiring the Superintendent. Meetings are open to the public, featuring periods for community comments.

Applications will be available in multiple languages, ensuring accessibility for diverse candidates. The process underscores the importance of community involvement in local education governance. The Nominating Panel consists of thirteen members representing various stakeholders in education and business.
