About the

Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership:

While Massachusetts is consistently ranked as one of the top states for education results in the country, we have one of the highest and most persistent opportunity gaps. The Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership (SEZP) - established in 2015 as a collaboration between Springfield Public Schools (SPS), the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), and the Springfield Education Association (SEA) - seeks to improve the longitudinal life outcomes of the more than 2,500 students in our 8 middle schools. SEZP combines district-based public education with the flexibility of autonomous school models, granting schools meaningful control over curriculum, staffing, scheduling, and budgeting—while maintaining clear accountability for student learning and growth. Across all of its work—including school improvement and educator preparation—SEZP is guided by three core values:

Access:

Expanding access to strong learning environments, skilled mentors, and clear pathways for students and educators

Belonging:

Building communities where people are known, supported, and accountable to one another

Opportunity:

Preparing students and educators to learn, lead, and thrive over time
