Join us VIRTUALLY on February 4 for the next session of the Philadelphia Education Fund's monthly speaker series Education First Compact

Driving Toward Educational Equity – An Introduction to the Philadelphia School Board’s “Goals and Guardrails” Initiative Attend a typical school board meeting anywhere in the country, and the agenda will likely be largely made up of financial, contracting, and spending resolutions. What if, instead of school operations, a school board were to focus its attention on student achievement? Might that accelerate gains for students? Could that improve the student experience? Would that deliver educational equity?Two years ago, the Philadelphia Board of Education began consulting with education leaders across the country to explore this question. The answer, announced just last month, is Goals and Guardrails. The initiative has been described by former board member, Lee Huang, as both “obvious and revolutionary.” And, Superintendent Bill Hite called it a “game changer.” To learn more about this approach and what it might mean for Philadelphia’s schoolchildren, register for the February 4 session of PEF’s Education First Compact. Join Board of Education Vice President Leticia Egea-Hinton and members Mallory Fix Lopez and Angela McIver for a presentation and discussion on the history, development and launch of the Goals and Guardrails initiative.
