Boston superintendent calls for permanent closure of Mission Hill K-8 School following report on allegations of sexual and physical misconduct among students.
"Ensuring the safety, health and wellbeing of all students is the most important obligation a school district has," Boston Public Schools said in its announcement."Based on the persistent pattern of abuse confirmed in this independent report, the only viable option is to close the school and support students in their transition to other schools in the district. This action indicates how seriously the Superintendent takes this responsibility.
The district said 200 students who attend the school will need new school assignments beginning this fall, adding that about 400 K-8 seats are expected to be available at schools within a 1.5-mile radius of the Mission Hill School. In an Equity Impact Statement, the district said Hinckley Allen's investigation"documents harm to children and families over the past decade," adding that"all attempts at intervention have not garnered an acceptable level of progress."
The law firm will continue to investigate potential staff misconduct,"including failure to report student-on-student incidents," and what more the district can do to keep students safe at all of the district's public schools, the report said.
