Superintendent Tony B. Watlington Sr. also said he was ordering a comprehensive review of the district's leveling process, which moves teachers weeks into the school year.
The Philadelphia school board met Thursday night to borrow funds to ensure smooth cash flow, sell bonds to fix and build buildings, and more.
The rally follows the release of an investigatory report on whether the district and its charter office are biased against Black-led charters, as the African American Charter School Coalition has suggested for years. The report, released last week, found no overt racism, but flaws in the process and the district, as well as “unique challenges” for Black-led charters and inherent conflicts of interest between the school-system authorizer and its charter schools.
Nearly a quarter of the district’s funding — the school system’s budget is about $4 billion — comes from the city’s real estate collections, which don’t show up until March. But it’s got a steady stream of expenditures for things like payroll and charter school payments.
