The evening of October 27, 2015 PCAPS Philadelphia Coalition Advocating for Public Schools held a training for parents, educators and community partners interested in becoming Community School Ambassadors at SEIU 455 N 5th street. Nice turnout and networking with others concerned with the unhealthy state of Philadelphia's public schools. We were introduced to the community school model successfully working in New York and Cincinnati. Restoring resources in our schools and revitalizing neighborhoods is what the community school models brings.

What Parents Can Do: WHAT CAN YOU DO
Philadelphia needs community schools…schools with wrap around services, engaging instruction, positive behavior supports, and a real voice for parents, school staff and the community; schools that are fully funded and staffed with a full time nurse, counselors and a certified librarian; schools with art, music, computer technology and advanced placement classes; schools that respect the right of school employees to organize and bargain collectively. During the primary, democratic mayoral nominee Jim Kenney proposed making 25 neighborhood public schools into community schools. Sign the petition now to bring community schools to Philadelphia.
