About Us

New Haven School Change is an organization of concerned citizens who are committed to enacting critical changes in New Haven Public Schools (NHPS). 
 
We are founded on the fundamental belief that all children in New Haven can achieve at much higher levels than today, and that the adults surrounding our students – educators, administrators, regulators, politicians, and parents – must change the status quo in education in order to achieve these results. We believe that every decision facing the education of students in New Haven must be based on the ability to improve student achievement.  
 
This is why we are campaigning in support of the School Reform Initiative proposed by Mayor John DeStefano Jr. and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Reginald Mayo.
 

About The School Change Campaign
 
New Haven Public School Foundation, Inc. embarked on this important new campaign to better inform and involve the community in the development of the proposed reform initiative for district schools. Working with the non-profit and business communities, community-based organizations, parents, teachers, administrators and the community at large, the campaign will:
 

  • Inform stakeholders about plans for the reform initiative
  • Coordinate community forums to provide feedback to the Board of Education (BOE) and City Hall
  • Support and advocate for legislative, regulatory, and administrative priorities that move district reform goals forward
  • Help establish a culture of learning and value for education in the greater community
