Boston Mayor Michelle Wu delivered her first State of the Schools address in Josiah Quincy Upper School on Oct. 28, reviewing achievements of Boston Public Schools (BPS), and pledging to offer before- and after-school programs to all students in the city.

“We know the day doesn’t end at 3 p.m. for kids or working families—so we’re ensuring students have the opportunity to be challenged before and after the bell rings,” Wu said.
