BPS students demand ‘new rules, clean schools’ in City Hall Plaza rally

Several dozen students from Boston Public Schools rallied on City Hall Plaza Tuesday to make their needs heard by Mayor Michelle Wu.

In a letter addressed to the mayor, students wrote that, “For years, BPS students have had trouble learning in an unhealthy environment without enough resources, investment, and support.”

Simone Frederick said that at Boston Latin Academy, where she is a senior, there are issues with the school’s basic physical condition.

“Some parts of the building are really deteriorating,” Frederick said. “If we had those issues fixed, people would have a better environment to learn and to teach in.”
