Election history: 2nd-time candidate for School Committee
Eugenia Schraa Huh (rhymes with "Algebra") is a CPS parent and previously taught high school in the Bronx. She most recently worked as the Director of Constituent Services in the Office of the Mayor, and previously worked with the Cambridge Nonprofit Coalition and the Kendall Square Association. She is a graduate of Harvard College and Fordham School of Law, and served on the Board of the Margaret Fuller House. Both her legal and constituent services work involved serving families facing homelessness.
Before joining the Mayor's Office, she led a multi-year effort to expand afterschool offerings in Cambridge. She created Cambridge Kids Help, an oft-cited resource for how to approach school lotteries, among other topics. She also writesa data-heavy newsletter, and has argued that data suggest Fletcher Maynard may be in danger.
Schraa Huh sought office for the first in 2023 and made it to the seventh of nine rounds of counts determining the final six committee members.
Eugenia frames her approach to School Committee and its policies as "student learning above optics." She wants the School Committee to establish clearer checkpoints and accountability mechanisms for initiatives like new Advanced Learning goal, "even if it means being the bad guy." Eugenia also wants to expand transparency to parents--when students are behind, and when they're ahead.
One of her main policy thrusts is to enable teachers to meet students where they are, including advanced learners, and that CPS exaggerates how much differentiated instruction is possible given the constraints in the classroom. She supports flexible grouping and pull-out/push-in services (for additional support, enrichment, etc.).
To improve elementary math instruction Eugenia is interested in exploring math specialist teachers like art/music.
Eugenia believes teachers and the administration must be part of deciding how to implement policies, but then the School Committee must hold them accountable in turn. This includes holding the Superintendent accountable for student success metrics.
As someone who has spent time in Rikers Island juvenile wards, I've seen what can happen when schools play the wrong role in students lives. Education should be the antidote to court involvement. And yet CPS still suspends students and at higher rates for students of color. Robust research has shown a causal link between suspension and poor outcomes like jail or prison.
CPS must begin pushing two new priorities here. One: strong support for students with behavioral issues, and two: an absolute commitment to preventing behavioral disturbances from interrupting classroom learning.
It is not equitable to allow a third of your class to be bored.
Please bear in mind School Committee did not push back when the head of math publicly stated that kids bored in class because they mastered the material could just sit and do sudoku during class time instead.
It's certainly not equitable to let half your class to be lost or demoralized, possibly even turning away from school completely because they're not ready for the material.

Eugenia Schraa Huh, a candidate running for the second time, agreed that tracking progress is crucial to accountability in advanced learning policy.
“I would supplement the work of evaluating and pushing the superintendent and administration in meetings by going directly to local families and media when the administration is not doing its part,” Schraa Huh said.
