Today we talk with Michael Contompasis: long-time authority in BPS and current overseer of a turn-around of the Devers school in Dorcester. He talks with us today about running a low-performing elementary school, and the efforts underway to transform it into a successful and high-performing one. We also discuss how he feels race and income play into outcomes and readiness for academic success, and what will need to happen in the future for all schools in BPS to provide equal experiences to all students.
