Citywide Educational Coalition Records Available for Research
The historical records of the Citywide Educational Coalition are now open for research. The collection was processed with funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
The Citywide Educational Coalition, located in Boston, Massachusetts, was formed in 1972. Its mission was to provide Boston’s citizens with clear and accurate information and organizing skills to participate in the making of educational policy. Until the Coalition disbanded in 2000, it continued to advocate for school reform by working with teachers and parent groups.
The 30 cubic feet of records illuminate the Coalition’s role in the desegregation of the Boston Public Schools and its efforts to disseminate the policies and practices of the Boston Public Schools in language that parents could understand.
