SPRINGFIELD — While educators are celebrating the achievements at eight schools that will bring them back under the full control of the district, they now must find the best way to make the transition without losing momentum.
More than a decade ago, Springfield and state entered into an agreement to place some of the city’s most troubled schools under the control of the Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership, a collaborative effort of the Springfield Public Schools, the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Springfield Education Association, with assistance from some business partners.
