Cornell Mills on Education:
"Education is the Civil Rights issue of our day; As your City Councillor – I will work to ensure that all BPS Students, Parents and Concerned Residents are involved in providing a quality education for our children."
Call for a change to the appointed School Committee.
Advocate and organize for changing the current model of the School Committee appointments to either an elected school committee or a combination of elected and appointed members.
Establish an Alumni mentoring program throughout BPS
This model has been proven successful by partnering schools with past students to help navigate through academic and community life. This program provides guidance by which the child has a role model, giving them a road map to becoming productive members of society.
Updated, Diverse Curriculum
Developing and introducing a curriculum at every educational level that is reflective of the cultural diversity of the student body and historically accurate with updated current information. Educational Support Systems
Supporting students who achieve; recognizing and supporting the good kids.
Supporting teachers with proven track records and innovative ideas, “Rewarding excellence”
Arts & Culture in Schools
Cultivating a relationship between schools and community by expanding the teaching of the Arts. Utilizing Boston’s rich pool of artistic and cultural talent by incorporating members of the community from institutions such as; the Piano Factory, Museum of the NCAAA and AAMARP as well as local Authors, Poets and Hip-Hop artists.
School complicated by life
A large percentage of students in BPS suffer from stress and trauma disorders. We will identify and provide therapy and mental health counseling through partnerships with professionals and local health facilities.
