Philadelphia’s schools may have faced their greatest challenges this year, but those challenges were met by a powerful force of parent and civic activism that pushed back against a failing schools narrative and demanded the attention and action of the District, the media and our elected officials. Together parents have made public education the number one issue in our city and in the state of Pennsylvania. Click on any of the photo’s below for a gallery of some of Parents United’s actions this past year . We look forward to more important work in 2014!
