Public participation in board meetings[edit]
The School District of Philadelphia school board maintains the following policy on public testimony during board meetings:[5]
| “ |
The Board reaffirms the right of the public to deliver comments to the Board on matters of general concern, on formal actions of the Board, or on deliberations regarding matters that are or may be before the Board. Speakers present at a Board meeting may address the Board in accordance with law and Board policy and administrative procedures posted on the Board website. If a motion from the floor is made to amend, revise or edit a resolution on the list of proposed resolutions, or to propose a substitute for it, and the public has had a reasonable opportunity to comment on the original resolution, then the Board may proceed to vote on the amended or substituted resolution without further public comment, if the amendment, revision, edit, or substitute resolution pertains to the same subject which is addressed in the original resolution. If a motion from the floor is used to propose a resolution which does not pertain to a subject that is already addressed in a resolution that has been posted in advance of that meeting, the Board may vote on the proposed resolution made from the floor at the next or later Board action meeting after the public has been notified of the proposed resolution and has had an opportunity to comment on the proposed resolution. When a Board member proposes a new resolution by a motion from the floor and the President calls for a vote at that meeting, the Board will provide for public comment before the Board takes action. If no speakers request to be heard, then the Board may proceed to vote. [6] |

The following salary information was pulled from the district's teacher salary schedule. A salary schedule is a list of expected compensations based on variables such as position, years employed, and education level. It may not reflect actual teacher salaries in the district.

Academic performance[edit]
Proficiency assessments[edit]
Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[9]
Mathematics[edit]
The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:[10]

Noteworthy events[edit]
2015: Debate over School Reform Commission[edit]
The School District of Philadelphia has never been run by an elected school board, a unique situation among Pennsylvania school districts. The board was selected by the city's common pleas judge from 1905 to 1965 when the mayor was given the power to appoint members. In 2001, the mayor consented to the creation of the School Reform Commission (SRC), a five-member board with three members appointed by the governor and two members appointed by the mayor. The SRC was created in the midst of public concerns over district finances and academic performance.[15] The commission was dissolved in 2018.[3]
A push for local control gained momentum in 2015 with voter approval of a non-binding ballot question seeking the end of the SRC. Former Mayor Michael Nutter called for the end of the commission before leaving office, and successor James Kenney supported more local control once the district improved its finances.[16] The SRC was also analyzed by The Pew Charitable Trusts in a January 2016 report. The Pew report concluded with the following statement:[15]
| “ |
Education experts say that state takeovers of local districts have, at least in some cases, cured financial ills created through mismanagement. But there is no indication that any particular system for governing urban school districts is superior to another in improving long-term academic performance. Too many other factors, experts say, help determine what happens in the classroom, including the quality of principals and teachers, funding, and parental expectations. There is broad agreement on at least one conclusion: Governance systems that produce uncertainty, distrust, and ambiguous accountability can impede districts’ progress on any front.[6] |
