Dear School District of Philadelphia Community,

Today, I’m excited to announce that after extensive collaboration with principals, assistant superintendents, union representatives, and external stakeholders, the School District of Philadelphia will reorganize its Learning Network structure for the 2024-2025 school year. As we work towards becoming the fastest improving, large urban school district, updating the Learning Network structure is one of three key drivers for improving customer service and accelerating academic achievement in the upcoming school year. The other two drivers are:

• Expanding a districtwide two-way communications system (Let’s Talk), and
• Relaunching Parent/Family University in early 2025.

The new Learning Network structure demonstrates our commitment to student academic success. It will help us to serve our parents and families better, place resources closer to schools instead of the central office, decrease the travel time for assistant superintendents, increase engagement with grassroots and faith-based organizations, and accelerate academic achievement. This reorganization accomplishes Strategic Action 3.17 from Accelerate Philly, the District’s five-year strategic plan and builds upon the progress of the 2023-2024 school year.

The Learning Network reconfiguration will be rolled out in two phases. In Phase I, effective August 1, 2024, Learning Networks will be realigned to be geographically based along natural borders like rivers, major roadways, or train lines, and with consideration of current catchments. In Phase II, effective later this fall, the District will repurpose and reallocate existing staff resources to support the Learning Networks.

Please see the current and new Elementary Learning Network maps below:

Below my signature, you can find the updated list of schools by Learning Network.

In addition to the new structure, the schools previously in the Innovation and Acceleration Networks will receive the necessary support under the updated Learning Network structure. This new framework enables the District to enhance support across critical areas including operations, professional learning, talent acquisition, special education, serving diverse learners, student support services, fostering a positive climate, and promoting family engagement.

I want to thank you for your continued support and trust in the School District of Philadelphia. We remain committed to centering schools as the units of change for accelerating student achievement, and to preparing all students to imagine and realize any future they desire!

In partnership,

 

Tony B. Watlington Sr., Ed.D.
Superintendent
The School District of Philadelphia
