Recently Leadership Worcester hosted the education session for the Class of 2025. As a part of that day-long intensive, I had the opportunity to visit schools and to engage in deep conversation with educators, parents, students and policymakers. What I saw opened my eyes to both the challenges faced by our district and to the good work going on in the Worcester Public Schools.
The day began with an overview of the district — the number of schools, types of programs, student demographics and the services available to the nearly 25,000 students enrolled. In addition to the central work of teaching, the Worcester Public Schools' 4,800 employees provide transportation, health services, food services, athletics and more.
