Elizabeth Pauley joined the Boston Foundation in 2006 as a Senior Program Officer in Education. Since then, she has led the Foundation’s programmatic work in education and has helped the Foundation achieve significant reform and impact in the field. As a thought leader in the education portfolio, she has contributed to several Foundation led initiatives, including the Race to the Top Coalition, which successfully helped pass groundbreaking education reform legislation in the Achievement Gap Act of 2010. That legislation was the key ingredient in the Commonwealth’s placement as No. 1 in the nation in the federal Race to the Top funding competition, resulting in $250 million in education reform funding flowing to the state. She authored Toward Closing the Achievement Gap: A One-Year Progress Report on Education Reform in Massachusetts, which outlined how the 2010 legislation was initially implemented across the state.
