The Philadelphia Public School Notebook

The mission of the Notebook is to promote informed public involvement in the Philadelphia public schools and to contribute to the development of a strong movement for educational change in the city.

By providing information and analysis of educational issues, we support the efforts of parents, teachers, students, and communities to organize for improved conditions in their schools. We want to see schools that are affirming of all students, enabling them to become critically thinking, active participants in society.

The Notebook is a nonprofit news organization posting daily articles and commentary on our Web site and publishing a print editions six times a year. The print editions is available free at schools and other locations throughour Philadelphia, and mailed to our members. We are funded through grants, sponsorships, advertising and member donations.
