Magali Sanchez noted for family engagement and large-program experience during Boston visit
Summary
Members reported that Magali Sanchez impressed Boston visitors with family-engagement capacity, management of large-scale programming and budgets, and an ability to convene partners to execute initiatives — qualities members said could translate to Cambridge with adaptation for scale.
Committee members who visited Boston Public Schools described Magali Sanchez as a candidate with deep experience in family engagement and in managing large-scale programs.
Member Weinstein said BPS leaders and community partners praised Sanchez’s ability to "hear them and listen, acted, made it happen" and pointed to her responsibility for large summer programming (described in the meeting as serving roughly tens of thousands) and oversight of significant budgets. "Very high energy, very effective, very organized, ready to innovate," Weinstein said.
Member Harding and others noted Sanchez’s strength in family engagement and partnership building but also cautioned that Boston’s scale differs from Cambridge, so the committee should consider who would best fit Cambridge’s size and community expectations.
Members recommended reading Sanchez’s performance task and the related rubrics ahead of the public interviews.
