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.

“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
