| INFO |
The 2010 Initiative, announced in August of 2005, is an effort to improve, strengthen and revitalize the Archdiocese of Boston's Catholic schools. Announced in January 2007, the Brockton effort is the first phase of 2010 Initiative.
As announced this past January, Brockton's Catholic schools have been realigned under a new management structure consisting of a regional board and a regional director. This new management will provide greater resources in the areas of curriculum, staff, technology, and finances, which will ensure the long-term viability of these schools while maintaining their Catholic identity.
In Brockton, the effort has realized the creation of one school system located on two campuses with the addition of Pre-K. The lower campus is located at a newly upgraded and expanded St. Edward's, serving Pre K-Grade 3. The upper campus is located at a newly renovated St. Colman School and serves Grades 4-8.
This new school region will maintain an integral relationship with the parishes in Brockton. Pastors and local Catholic clergy will continue to play a critical role in ensuring that the Catholic identity and mission are maintained and that spiritual formation remains a central priority in our Catholic schools.
2010 Initiative: When the 2010 Initiative was announced in August 2005 the Archdiocese stated that it believed that the most effective plan will be one developed by drawing upon the collective experience of principals, pastors and local stakeholders working with professional education experts, consultants and practitioners in the community. The Archdiocese is committed to developing a sustainable plan that will meet the needs of students and local communities now and in the future. |
