Philadelphia needs community schools…schools with wrap around services, engaging instruction, positive behavior supports, and a real voice for parents, school staff and the community; schools that are fully funded and staffed with a full time nurse, counselors and a certified librarian; schools with art, music, computer technology and advanced placement classes; schools that respect the right of school employees to organize and bargain collectively.

During the primary, democratic mayoral nominee Jim Kenney proposed making 25 neighborhood public schools into community schools. Sign the petition now to bring community schools to Philadelphia.
