What is the CPC?
The Citywide Parent Council (CPC) is the officially recognized districtwide parent advocacy organization of Boston Public Schools (BPS). Led by parent and caregiver volunteers, the CPC serves as a collective voice for families across approximately 104 BPS schools, serving approximately 46,000 students.
The CPC is the umbrella organization for School Parent Councils (SPCs) throughout the district and is composed of elected parent and caregiver representatives from BPS schools.
Together, we advocate for the needs, rights, and interests of all BPS students and families, promoting educational equity, meaningful family engagement, transparency, and accountability in districtwide decisions.
