Philadelphia Cross City Campaign for School Reform

Philadelphia Cross City Campaign for School Reform is a coalition of local organizing and advocacy groups seeking to improve Philadelphia public schools and increase equity in education. It does so by supporting the efforts of students and parents to hold the public education system accountable for meeting their needs.

At Cross City's core are student, parent, and community organizing groups, which are supported by advocacy and research organizations. Each of Cross City's member groups has its own mission and constituency. Cross City is a forum for the groups to identify shared goals, develop joint strategies, and build a movement for quality, equitable public schools.

Cross City groups share priorities for education reform in Philadelphia, including:

• Build Community Capacity

• Provide Qualified & Effective Teachers for Every Student

• Keep Our Kids in School

• Ensure Equity for All

• Provide Fair and Adequate Education Funding
