Boston Public Schools (BPS) has shown uneven progress under a 2-year-old state improvement plan. A new poll reveals many BPS parents are unaware of new facilities plans. BPS has decided to scale back short-term plans to close schools, following criticism and concerns about the impact on the community. Critics accuse BPS of delaying decisions on school closures, prompting discussions on resource allocation between different types of schools.
