School Improvement Council
Burgess Elementary has a school improvement council. It meets monthly to discuss ways to improve our learning program. All public schools must have a School Improvement Council, as required by the Massachusetts Education Reform Law of 1993. The school improvement council includes teachers, parents, school administrators, and members of the Sturbridge community. Yearly elections are held to fill the seats on this committee each year.

Famous quotes containing the words school, improvement and/or council:
“But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the worldI am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (19071960)
“Unlike the normal pattern, I know I have grown more liberal as Ive grown older. I have become more convinced that there is room for improvement in the world.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of Englands Council and her Treasury,
Who lived in both, unstaind with gold or fee,
And left them both, more in himself content.
Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Killd with report that old man eloquent;”
—John Milton (16081674)
