In response to a Philadelphia Public School Notebook Blog:
PCCY sees three big challenges- first we must get the opening of schools right, second we need a new teachers’ contract that works for great teachers and students and third we need to continue the push for funding.
We are just a few weeks away from the start of the year and there are parents who still do not know where to enroll their kids. PCCY is identifying gaps in the enrollment process and sharing them with the District.
We also want the best and brightest teachers and principals in our schools. To make this happen, PCCY is advocating for changes in the new contract that rewards the District’s top teachers and give schools and parents the power to decide what’s best for their schools.
PCCY is also pushing Harrisburg to stop the political games and release the $45 million due to the District. If we do this, we are confident our schools will be ready to go on September 9th.
