On October 18th, we were very fortunate to have a live webinar discussion with Dr. Lindsa McIntyre, who is currently the Superintendent of High Schools for Boston Public Schools. She is renowned as an influential advocate of DEIB in education (diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging), and during her tenure as headmaster of Jeremiah E. Burke High School, she helped it become the first high school in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to exit Turnaround status.

From her personal journey as a young Black student growing up during desegregation to her professional track record as a school administrator, Dr. McIntyre has spent her life both directly experiencing and fighting inequity in education. This has helped her develop an extensive and profound set of educational philosophies that have served her communities in lasting ways. They’ve proven useful not only for supporting DEIB, but also for enacting positive change in the educational environment in general.

An influential educator with extensive personal and professional experience in fighting for equity,  Dr. Lindsa McIntyre is currently the Superintendent of High Schools for Boston Public Schools. She is also a member of the Classcraft Equity Board. You can follow her work via LinkedIn.
