As a zone of schools within the city of Springfield, SEZPs approach draws on a deep and embedded partnership with the school district and local teachers union,whileharnessing the flexibility and innovation found in autonomous school models. As a result, each school within SEZP is accorded significantschool-based autonomies - in curriculum, talent, calendar, schedule, and budget while being held accountable for realizing achievement gains for historically marginalized students. In all of our work, SEZP is in pursuit of equityand anti-racism acknowledging the systemic oppression our students and families encounter daily and working todisrupttheseprovisiongaps urgently and courageously.
