The Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education
Update on the Lawrence Receivership
To:
Members of the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education
From:
Mitchell D. Chester, Ed.D., Commissioner
Date:
June 12, 2015
The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education placed the Lawrence School District in Level 5 in November 2011, the first district in the state to be designated Level 5. On May 30, 2012, Lawrence Receiver Jeff Riley and I released a Level 5 District Turnaround Plan for Lawrence. On May 29, 2015, I renewed Lawrence's Level 5 District Turnaround Plan for an additional three year term.
Jeff Riley and members of his team will join us at the June 23 meeting to update the Board in more detail regarding Lawrence's progress and next steps.
