The Boston Plan was established in 1984 to support the city's public schools and provided mini-grants to teachers and college scholarships to graduates until the  volunteer board of trustees approved a reorganization in 1995. Since then, the local education foundation has worked in close partnership with the district to refine professional development for all teachers and principals-headmasters and to improve instruction in all classrooms.

The Boston Plan plays two roles: to test new ideas that hold promise for accelerating improvements in schools and to press the district to look at its own policies and practices that slow reform.
