BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS: FEWER STUDENTS. BUT A BIGGER BUDGET

How do you lose nearly 1,800 students… cut more than 400 school-based jobs… and still grow the central office budget by almost 50%? Boston taxpayers deserve answers.

Here’s what happened.

In 2022, Boston Public Schools enrolled 46,169 students.

By 2026, enrollment had fallen to 44,416 students.

That’s a loss of 1,753 students.

But while enrollment was falling, the central office budget kept growing.

In 2022, it was about $74 million.

In 2023, it grew to $82 million.

In 2024, it reached $91 million.

In 2025, it jumped to $109 million.

And in 2026, it remained around $110 million.

That’s an increase of about $36 million, or nearly 50%, in just four years.

Now compare that to what happened inside our schools.

More than 400 teachers, paraprofessionals, and other student-facing employees lost their jobs because of budget cuts.

Think about that.

Fewer students.

Fewer people working directly with kids.

But a much bigger central office.

Boston families have every right to ask why.

Former Superintendent Mary Skipper also worked remotely during portions of her tenure. That raises a fair question: Was there enough oversight while the central administration continued to grow and schools were being forced to cut staff?

I don’t know the answer.

But Boston taxpayers deserve one.

I’ve also documented numerous family relationships and hiring connections within Boston Public Schools. Those documented relationships raise legitimate questions about how hiring decisions were made and which positions were protected while schools lost hundreds of employees who worked directly with students.

So here’s the question.

If enrollment keeps falling…

If schools are losing teachers and staff…

And the central office keeps getting bigger…

Who made those decisions?

Who benefited?

And who was held accountable?

These aren’t political questions.

They’re taxpayer questions.

Boston deserves transparency.

Parents deserve answers.

And every taxpayer deserves to know where their money is going.
