The Revere Public Schools Ways & Means Subcommittee meeting on June 4, 2025, focused on the restructuring of coaching positions within the district. A significant discussion centered on the elimination of several coaching roles, with a particular emphasis on the need for support in various educational areas.

During the meeting, it was revealed that the district would retain only a limited number of coaching positions. Specifically, there will be one math coach in each school, one literacy coach, two special education coaches, and three English Learner (EL) coaches distributed across the elementary, middle, and high schools. All other coaching positions, including those for civics, mindfulness, deeper learning, and grading practices, are proposed to be eliminated.

The conversation highlighted the importance of the remaining positions, particularly the grading practices coach, who is deemed essential for the implementation of a new report card system. School principals expressed that this role is critical for ensuring that teachers understand the grading system and can effectively support students.

Additionally, the restorative justice coach was mentioned as a vital resource, with demonstrations showcasing its importance in the school environment. The discussions reflected a balancing act between maintaining necessary support for educators and managing budget constraints.

The outcome of this meeting indicates a significant shift in the support structure for teachers in Revere Public Schools, with potential implications for educational quality and teacher effectiveness as the district moves forward with these changes.
