A fair RiSE process needs four things:
1. A timeline that is kept
2. A real seat at the table
3. Clear, public rules
4. Two-way communication
Stand with us. Support a fair system for 65,000 students in Philly.

How PCE has shown up on RiSE:
Our members sit on the working group.
Four position papers.
Board testimony.
A lawsuit over unlawful renewal conditions.
"A moratorium is not opposition to accountability. It is a demand for it."
#RiSEFramework #PhillyCharters
RiSE so far:
Late 2024: launched.
June 2026: details delayed.
September 2026: updates paused.
2027-28: earliest use.
Meanwhile, schools are still judged under the old rules.
"Transparency matters, and it is not showing up in this process."
#RiSEFramework #PHLCharters
When the rules for grading a school are unclear, families feel it.
About 65,000 students attend PCE member schools across Philly. Their parents chose those schools, and they deserve a fair, clear and consistent process.
RiSE matters to every family we serve.

The district delayed RiSE's release and still hasn't shared its data or methodology. Many were hopeful this process would fix a broken system. Now, without transparency, the sector no longer trusts that it will.

RiSE pilots in 2027-28 and will shape charter accountability for the next decade. One shot to get it right. It needs to happen in the open, not behind closed doors.

What is RiSE?
It's the redesign of the report card SDP uses to decide if your child's charter school stays open. New version rolls out for 2027-28 and shapes accountability for a decade.
Simple stakes, huge impact.

Tensions between Philadelphia charter schools and the district are escalating. That’s created frustration, left families in limbo, and sucked up money and resources for schools. chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…
Advocacy isn't a moment. It's a practice.
- 54 legislative meetings
- 39 schools visited
- 7 public statements to the School Board of Education.
Philly's 65,000 public charter school students deserve a relentless advocate in every room.

Our mission this year was simple...
We set out to "Elevate the E."
Here's what that looked like.

Attributing School District of Phila's $300M operating deficit primarily to charter schools, while ignoring state funding inequities and the district's own costs, is incomplete accounting.
