Partner Census for School District of Philadelphia Partners

2015-16 Partner Census for School District of Philadelphia Partners

“At the local school level, we mapped existing District-community partnerships alongside local school needs in order to better match generous community resources with local school communities, and to prepare for a more strategic development of partners’ support to further District goals.”
-Dr. Hite, Action Plan 3.0

Last year, the Office of Strategic Partnerships surveyed hundreds of partner organizations and schools. Through these efforts, we began mapping the wealth of community resources supporting our school communities. The information that we collected has enabled us to further our mission of coordinating partner and volunteer resources to align them with the goals and priorities of Action Plan 3.0 to help create excellent schools.

As a school partner, we ask that you participate again by completing a new version of the partnership census. This new survey aligns closely with the more in-depth school census described below. For those of you who provided information last year, we can provide a summary your program’s responses. If you would like a summary of your responses from last year, please contact Kevin Moran at [email protected] or 215-400-5339.

In addition to collecting updated information from partners, we are also conducting phone interviews, in collaboration with the Office of Research and Evaluation, with every school principal to identify the partners and services operating in each school, and to assess the most pressing needs and issues facing each school community.

Together, these school and partner surveys will more thoroughly reflect the landscape of programs in our schools and across our communities, as well as identify gaps in needed programs and services. The information collected will guide us in strengthening existing partnerships, as well as establishing new partnerships in schools and communities.

Get Counted!
