The Philadelphia Board of Education governs over all public schools, district-led and charter, and oversees policy and financial decisions for the School District.

This means the goals for our public schools are made by people who live here, work here, and want the best for Philadelphia students.

The School Board demands many hours of dedicated service—and those who serve are critical to our city’s future. If you are interested in serving on the Board, please review the Board of Education job description and apply by 5 p.m. on Thursday, December 3.

It outlines how the city will address three key goals:

  • Grow the economy to create family-sustaining jobs for all Philadelphians
  • Prepare Philadelphians for jobs that pay family-sustaining wages
  • Encourage equitable growth in neighborhoods without displacement

Our city has recently experienced multiple years of consistent population and job growth, and this plan will help us harness our momentum to ensure that future success benefits people in every corner of the city.

The inclusive growth report outlines our strategies to enable growth with equity, focused on three key areas: jobs, talent, and neighborhoods. The plan ties together both current and new initiatives.
