Philadelphia School Reform Commission

The Philadelphia School Reform Commission (SRC) is the governing body responsible for overseeing the operation and management of Philadelphia’s public schools. It makes decisions on budgets, policies, and school reforms, especially during times of financial difficulty or restructuring. The SRC was established to ensure the schools provide quality education, manage resources effectively, and implement necessary reforms to improve student outcomes. It functions independently of the school district’s administration but works closely with district leaders to address challenges and set strategic priorities.
