Ever since Rooney started in his role as chamber chief executive a decade ago, he's been trying to better integrate the business community and Boston Public Schools. Some companies, such as Natixis and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, already had specific school partnerships established. But Rooney found it hard to make much traction for a broader chamber effort with previous school superintendents.
Then came Skipper, a well regarded Somerville school administrator who was tapped by Mayor Michelle Wu in 2022 to lead BPS. Skipper and Rooney already knew each other; they actually live on the same street in Dorchester. So they hit it off quite easily. Among the fruits of those discussions: an agreement to help develop a financial literacy curriculum, to be rolled out this fall, and the Principal Partners shadowing event, reviving a concept similar to the 'Principal for a Day' program last tried in 2018.

On Thursday, the business leaders shadowed principals throughout the morning, then came together at Bank of America's offices on Federal Street to debrief. Rooney, Skipper, and Wu all spoke, as did B of A executive Miceal Chamberlain.
Rooney said the shadowing program will build a stronger connection between the business community and the city's schools. That in turn can help teachers keep pace with the city's ever-changing workforce needs, Rooney said, and send a good message to the kids when 'big branded Boston companies' are volunteering on their behalf. Plus, some of his members can provide expertise in developing the school system's new financial literacy program.
'Historically, the school department has been hard to help,' Rooney said. 'In the past, they defined 'partnership' as 'write me a check.' [Businesses] will do that as a matter of goodwill. But I wanted to do something deeper than that.'
