About the Medfield Coalition for Public Education
The Medfield Coalition for Public Education (MCPE or “The Coalition”) is an independent, non-profit organization funded to provide system-wide support and academic enrichment for the Medfield Public Schools, with particular attention to academic needs that exceed the parameters of the school budget. We strive to encourage and maintain academic excellence in the face of increasing financial constraints. MCPE attempts to inform the community regarding the needs and progress of public education in Medfield.
The MCPE awards grants to support the development of innovative programs, curriculum and enrichment. Awards favor projects that meet student needs and increase motivation to learn, as well as stimulate creativity in the classroom. All staff, teachers, administrators and counselors are eligible to apply for a grant, as long as a direct impact upon students can be demonstrated.
The Coalition was founded in 1987 by a group of concerned Medfield citizens with a board comprised of five people. Today, 16 members serve staggered, three-year terms with an additional six people comprising the grant committee.
