Annual Report, SDP Office of Strategic Partnerships

Posted by School District of Philadelphia on September 4, 2017

We are smarter together, stronger together, and more successful together. These are our foundational principles.
We at the Office of Strategic Partnerships (OSP) see Philadelphia as being home to a rich tapestry of partner organizations and programs that, in collaboration with schools, help to create vibrant learning environments for our students. We believe that partnerships can be an important lever in helping schools reach their goals and that strong partnerships grow out of a spirit of collaboration and understanding among all stakeholders. These beliefs guide our work with partners, schools, and other School District of Philadelphia (District) offices.

Now in our fifth year, we continue to leverage the support of key partners and listen as schools share their fundamental needs. This allows our office to more effectively connect necessary programs and resources with our
school communities. Of course, the District is the institution with the primary responsibility to educate students, but in a world of rapid change and increasing challenges, it only makes sense to engage leaders from business, civic organizations, philanthropy, and communities in ways that create as many options and opportunities as possible for our young people.
