Boston is home to the nation’s first public school and its oldest public elementary school. Our commitment to public education is reflected in our budget. Including state and federal grants, we plan to spend over $1.2B dollars next school year, and more than $20,000 per pupil for our 55,000 students. This website helps to explain where and how we propose spending those resources next year.
