The Philadelphia Public School Notebook

Mission Statement

The mission of the Notebook is to promote informed public involvement in the Philadelphia public schools and to contribute to the development of a strong movement for educational change in the city.

By providing information and analysis of educational issues, we support the efforts of parents, teachers, students, and communities to organize for improved conditions in their schools. We want to see schools that are affirming of all students, enabling them to become critically thinking, active participants in society.
