As a Boston School Committee member, I have had the great pleasure to visit the Carter School on several occasions. It is an exceptional school designed to meet the needs of students with significant physical and educational challenges, and it does this critically important work every day in a caring and nurturing environment. Principal Marianne Kopaczynski is an outstanding school leader who leads an exemplary staff. The city of Boston is fortunate to have the Carter School as an option for families and children across all of our neighborhoods, and it serves as a model of best practices in the education of students with complex health needs and severe disabilities.
