Educational Attainment


In 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania transferred control of the Mayor-appointed School Board to the School Reform Commission — a five-member entity led by individuals appointed by the Mayor and the Governor.

The Mayor holds two of five appointees on the School Reform Commission and played a key role in selecting Dr. Ackerman as Superintendent in collaboration with Governor Rendell.

The Mayor’s Office and several departments within the City collaborate closely with the School District on our services to children and families.

For the 2008-09 year, the City of Philadelphia must contribute $837 million in tax and non-tax revenue to the School District of Philadelphia.
