About BASAS
The Boston Association of School Administrators and Supervisors (BASAS) serves as the official labor union and professional body representing administrative (instructional and operational) leadership across Boston Public Schools (BPS). Formed following the passage of Massachusetts' public employee collective bargaining law, BASAS operates as AFSA Local 6 under the American Federation of School Administrators (AFL-CIO).
BASAS represents key instructional and operational leaders across Boston Public Schools (BPS), including Assistant Principals, Assistant Heads of School, Directors of Instruction, Assistant Directors, Operational Leaders, Program Directors, Food Service Coordinators, Culture & Climate Managers, and more. Selected for their proven leadership experience, ability to develop curriculum, and expertise in staff evaluation, these administrators serve as central drivers of continuous improvement throughout BPS.
Together, we work to protect member rights, advocate for fair working conditions, and advance educational excellence for all students in Boston Public Schools.
