School overview
Alighieri Dante Montessori School
Who makes school-level decisions and what the public record shows — Part of Boston Public Schools.
Who makes decisions at this school?
Boston Public Schools and its mayor-appointed School Committee set district policy and funding. At the school, the School Site Council is the formal shared-decision body: BPS says it reviews the full school budget, approves discretionary spending and the Quality School Plan, and reviews recommendations with a significant community impact. The School Parent Council is different: every parent or guardian belongs, it supports family participation and elects parent representatives to the Site Council.
School Site Council
The public calendar lists eight SSC meetings from November 2025 through June 2026, but no agendas, minutes, decisions, or membership roster were published in the collected record.
School Parent Council
The school says every parent or guardian is a member and that meetings generally occur monthly; the calendar also lists a fall council-election meeting.
District funding
The school is funded inside the BPS budget through city and state revenue and district allocation rules; the collected school-level sources do not publish its allocation.
Spending gap
No school-specific allocation, expenditure, or per-student spending figure was present in the collected recurring school record.
A missing online agenda or minutes does not show that the councils failed to meet or act; it means their deliberations and outcomes cannot be verified from the collected public record.
What is on the public record
Major projects
2026-27 School Site Council and parent governance cycle
Awaiting fall election and meeting calendarThe annual school-level governance cycle brings parents into the SPC and elects parent representatives to the SSC, which reviews the school budget and improvement plan.
- The calendar scheduled the prior school-year SPC, SSC, and district-wide election meeting.
- The calendar scheduled the final listed 2025-26 SSC meeting.
- BPS requires the annual parent-representative election meeting by October 15.
Funding
School operating resources; no separate project budget published
This is a governance cycle, not a separately funded capital project.
The complete collected school-level corpus consisted of the official public family calendar and the school's council-information page. Both were reviewed in full; calendar events were read chronologically across the trailing year.
