School overview
Edison Elementary School
How Edison is governed and funded, and what its public facilities record shows. Part of Boston Public Schools.
Who makes decisions for Edison?
Boston Public Schools and the appointed Boston School Committee set district policy and the operating budget. Edison also must have a School Site Council made up of the principal, educators, and an equal number of parents; BPS says that council reviews the whole school budget, approves discretionary spending and the Quality School Plan, and considers changes with major school-community impact.
The Boston School Committee governs BPS
The committee sets district policy, establishes and monitors the annual operating budget, and hires and evaluates the superintendent.
Edison's council has defined local authority
BPS says each School Site Council reviews the full school budget, approves the discretionary portion and Quality School Plan, and considers recommendations with significant school impact.
Parents elect council representatives
BPS says parent representatives are elected at the School Parent Council's annual election meeting, while the principal and educators also serve.
The local record is not reconstructable online
No Edison council agenda, minutes, roster, calendar, or current school plan was found for the trailing year in the searched official channels.
The absence of a public online archive does not establish that Edison's council failed to meet; it means families cannot verify its work from the searched public record.
