School overview
Fenway High School
How Fenway is governed, funded, and building its Early College program. Part of Boston Public Schools.
Who makes decisions for Fenway High?
Boston Public Schools and the Boston School Committee set district policy and allocate public funding, while Fenway's pilot status gives the school local flexibility. Fenway publishes a Board of Trustees with community, faculty, parent/caregiver, student, and ex-officio members; parents can also participate through the Parent Council and serve on the governing board.
Local governing board
Fenway publishes a 26-person Board of Trustees led by Chair Gary Bailey and Chair-Elect Lora Farkas.
Parent participation
The Parent Council says it meets every other month to share information, give feedback, and plan events; parents also serve on the governing board.
Public funding plus philanthropy
Fenway says much of its funding is allocated by BPS, while the Fenway Fund supports college advising, wellness, tutoring, clubs, books, field trips, scholarships, and faculty development.
The public calendar shows one Board Meeting in the trailing year, but Fenway publishes no accompanying agenda or minutes, so it does not establish attendance, votes, or decisions.
