 Who We Are
Committee for Education in the
21st Century is a volunteer-run, non-partisan,
citizen organization comprised of a Board of
Directors, representatives from each of the
Wellesley Public Schools and school supporters
throughout the Wellesley community.
The
Committee for Education in the 21st Century (the
successor to WISE ~ the Wellesley Initiative
Supporting Education) was launched in October 2005
as an advocacy group for the Wellesley Public
Schools. Support for education in Wellesley has
traditionally been strong. In 1990, the "Committee
for the 90's," was formed in response to proposed
cuts in the WPS budget. Since that time, the
Committee for the 90's and the ensuing group WISE
have organized advocacy on behalf of the WPS.
Mission Statement
The
Committee for Education in the 21st
Century’s (“Committee 21”) mission is to
actively support the goals of the Wellesley Public
Schools and to advocate for resources to achieve
these goals.
The
Committee for Education in the 21st Century’s objectives are to:
-
Inform
Wellesley residents of the key issues facing our
public schools;
-
Serve as a
resource of information on the school budget and
other important School Committee
decisions
-
Organize and mobilize support for critical decisions.
