Description: The Division of Transportation contracts with Genuine Parts Company (GPC) to provide parts and supplies to the School District’s garages. Examples of the items provided include tires, oil filters, brakes, engine oil, and windshield wipers. These parts are used to maintain and complete repairs to the District’s yellow bus and non-bus fleet. Transportation is seeking to extend the contract with GPC for one year.

GPC makes a vast array of parts available to District garages on demand or within a short amount of time. This reduces the amount of inventory the District is required to keep on hand. Due to supply chain issues, parts shortages, and price hikes we are requesting a 10% increase over the prior year's authorization during the extension. GPC
will continue to be evaluated via ongoing feedback from garage personnel and through quarterly management meetings with GPC.

Title: Contract with Children’s Crisis Treatment Center Board of Education Meeting Date: 4/21/2022 Action under consideration The Administration recommends that the Board of Education authorize The School District of Philadelphia, through the Superintendent or his designee, to increase the amount of spending on a contract the Board previously authorized the School District to execute and perform, subject to funding, as follows: With: Children’s Crisis Treatment Center (CCTC) Purpose: Additional funding for previously authorized services to rectify an error Start Date: 8/1/2021 End Date: 6/30/2025 Currently authorized compensation not to exceed: $259,000 Additional compensation: $20,000 Total new compensation not to exceed: $279,000 Location: At CCTC acute partial facility Description: At the Board meeting on September 23, 2021, the Board approved Action Item No. 17, ratifying and authorizing the School District to contract with Children's Crisis Treatment
Center (CCTC) for $259,000. After that Board approval, the District discovered that the $259,000 amount in the action item was incorrect and should be $20,000 higher ($5,000 per year for 4 years) to reflect the negotiated cost for the service and to employ a full-time, highly qualified teacher at CCTC's acute partial program to provide students with at least two hours of instruction, according to students' medical and educational needs, while students are in treatment, consistent with legal requirements regarding provision of academic instruction to students to minimize loss of learning while they are in treatment. CCTC will maintain academic records, including assessments data, and will support students' transition into care and back to school by sharing relevant academic information and recommendations for behavioral supports and services. The teacher will participate in professional development on instructional practice, participate in training sessions required
for continued certification in elementary education and special education, and PSSA test administration. The evidence that supports this approach shows that providing academic support, social activities, and access to a teacher while students are hospitalized minimizes learning loss and reduces difficulty with school re-entry upon discharge. Contracting with CCTC provides an investment in academic instructional support Board of Education Goals 1 & 2 and Guardrail 1.3. This support allows students to continue to build their academic skills while also receiving needed mental/behavioral health care support.

Title: Contracts with pre-approved law firms for Title IX, harassment and discrimination investigations Board of Education Meeting Date: 4/21/2022 Action under consideration The Administration recommends that the Board of Education authorize The School District of Philadelphia, through the Superintendent or his designee, to execute and perform a contract, subject to funding, as follows: With: Any outside counsel law firm which the Board of Education has separately approved as qualified for retention by the Office of General Counsel Purpose: To create a pool of qualified investigators to investigate Title IX complaints as well as harassment and/or discrimination complaints and in certain cases to also make determinations Start Date: 4/22/2022 End Date: 6/30/2026 Compensation not to exceed: All entities will be paid out of an aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000 a year for 4 years, and no one firm will be engaged for an amount to exceed $100,000 in any fiscal year.
Location(s): All Schools; Administrative Offices Renewal Options: Yes Number of Options: 2 Duration of each option to extend: Years: 1 Months: 0 Maximum compensation authorized per option period: $200,000 Description: In August 2020, Title IX federal guidelines were released. The District entered into two limited contracts with outside investigators at law firms, as Title IX regulations require an independent investigator, as well as an independent decision maker. As the District was virtual a great deal of the time for the SY20-21, the number of Title IX cases was minimal. As students returned for SY21-22, the number of cases increased. In order to remain in compliance with Federal Title IX regulations, independent investigators are needed for all Title IX formal complaints. Investigators from this pre-approved pool will also be assigned to investigate other egregious or complicated complaints of discrimination and harassment as
needed. All reports of discrimination and harassment must be investigated to ensure students are safe and supported. In order for students to realize their potential, schools must be welcoming and safe and assuring thorough and independent investigations of claims of discrimination and harassment is part of that effort.

Action Item - 22. Title: Acceptance of Services from and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Albert Einstein Medical Center - Pre-K Nutrition Education Program Board of Education Meeting Date: 4/21/2022 Action under consideration The Administration recommends that the Board of Education authorize The School District of Philadelphia, through the Superintendent or his designee, to execute and perform a Memorandum of Understanding, as follows: With: Albert Einstein Medical Center Purpose: Delivery of nutrition education services to District preK students and families Start date: 10/1/2022 End date: 9/30/2024 Value of Services not to exceed:$1,750,000 Location: Citywide deployment Renewal Options: No Description: While obesity rates for children ages 2-5 have been falling incrementally on a national level, Pennsylvania is one of just three states not sharing in these recent nominal improvements.
Through fun and educational nutrition activities performed by Einstein in District pre-k classrooms across the city per the proposed MOU, children and their families will have greater awareness of the benefits of healthy eating habits, which will increase the likelihood that these habits are adopted within their daily routine. Learning to enjoy the consumption of fruits and vegetables at a young age is critical for proper physical and cognitive development, and for the maintenance of good overall health and academic performance during adolescence and into early adulthood. These services would be provided by Einstein at no cost to the District, supported by a direct federal grant to their organization. The Families Understanding Nutrition (FUN) curriculum incorporates literacy and math activities, and its staff is trained on how to combine literacy and math in their lessons. Through these lessons, students learn about new foods and use their five senses to
describe the foods, and a book is read that complements the lesson. These activities help
students build the vocabulary they will need to reach their grade-level goals in future years. In addition, FUN provides funding for teachers and students to prepare healthy recipes. These activities help reinforce literacy skills through reading the recipe, and also teach basic quantitative skills that will form a foundation to help them satisfy math and science requirements. FUN staff work with District teachers on how to promote healthy habits in other aspects of their day, including modeling healthy behaviors at mealtimes. Healthy eating and physical activity concepts help ensure students receive a well-rounded education. FUN staff work with Early Childhood personnel to provide appropriate books and other needed food- related activities that enhance the day-to-day pre-k experience. FUN also provides information for parents on the foods that are tasted along with simple recipes they can make at home. Each site has at least one caregiver nutrition workshop each year that focuses on
good nutrition for preschoolers. Success of FUN programming can be measured in several ways. Integrated into the lessons, activities, and observations are numerous opportunities to assess the following: 1. Ability of participating children to identify the foods we taste as we progress through the year; 2. Increase in language used to describe the food; 3. Increase in the numbers of students who are willing to taste new foods; 4. Demonstrated knowledge of basic food safety: washing fruits and vegetables before eating, washing hands before eating, etc.; 5. Degree of integration of food activities in creative play; and 6. Ability of participants to identify ways of becoming and staying healthy. These objectives are also measured by conversation with children and teachers, as well as objective classroom observations. Ongoing meetings with teachers and pre-k leadership allow for a focus on their priority learning domains as well as ways of integrating nutrition into their
curricular programming. This has helped teachers do more hands-on food activities with children which increases chances of children tasting more foods. The FUN program was initiated due to commentary from day care providers that their students had limited exposure to fruits and vegetables. In developing the program, it was essential to connect to creativity, hands-on activities, and literacy, as well as other cognitive skills (e.g., recognizing colors/shapes, exploring all five senses) critical to pre-k, and to acknowledge the results of a high-profile Harvard University study that found that parents with food insecurity were not buying fruits or vegetables because they did not want to waste money on foods that their children might not like. The first year of the FUN program was measured by children’s willingness to explore new foods. In Einstein's year-end presentation to the American Public Health Association, the idea that
children will not taste or enjoy unknown fruits and vegetables was shown to be incorrect. The children were in fact willing to touch, smell, and eventually taste the foods, including Brussel sprouts, which received a 95% positive score. The District has collaborated with Einstein on this project, at no cost to the District, for approximately 15 years. With support from the research department of the USDA-funded SNAP- Ed program at Penn State, an evaluation of the FUN program was undertaken using activities within both District and community-based pre-k classrooms. Employing both an implementation
and control group, reviewers found that the FUN curriculum exposed children to unfamiliar fruits and vegetables and other healthy foods, and increased their vocabulary for describing foods; through work with parents, it provided families with the opportunity to increase healthy food choices for their children. Through the process of exposing preschool children to healthy, local, seasonal foods via in-class activities and family workshops, the FUN program has increased the familiarity of participating students with these products, particularly fruits and vegetables, and has increased awareness among their parents/caregivers regarding the benefits of offering and consuming these foods at home on a regular basis. These efforts are considered to be a key, underlying element of the District's comprehensive pre-k program, as research has consistently shown that the establishment of responsible/informed eating habits at an early age is closely tied
to long-term academic success and numerous other positive health/life outcomes. Related resolution(s)/approval(s): April 30, 2020; No. 12 Office Originating Request: Academic Support
Action Item - 23. Title: Memorandum of Understanding with National Math + Science Initiative - STEM Education ($250,000) - AS AMENDED Board of Education Meeting Date: 4/21/2022 Action under consideration The Administration recommends that the Board of Education authorize The School District of Philadelphia, through the Superintendent or his designee, to execute and perform a Memorandum of Understanding, as follows: With: National Math and Science Initiative Purpose: Teacher training, content workshops, curricular and classroom resources, and networking, as well as online study sessions (both live and on-demand) for Advanced Placement students Start date: 4/24/2022 End date: 6/30/2023 Value of Services not to exceed:$250,000 Location: High School of The Future Renewal Options: Yes Number of Options: 2 Duration of each option to extend: Years: 1 Months: Description: The objectives of this partnership are to advance STEM mastery and to support Philadelphia
students with graduating from high school well prepared for college and/or a career. As such, the Childhood Resilience Foundation (CRF) will facilitate a partnership between the School District and the National Math + Science Initiative (NMSI). Through this partnership, teachers and leaders at High School of the Future, including Advanced Placement (AP) teachers in Math, Science, and English as well as Math, English, Biology, and Chemistry non-AP teachers will receive training, content workshops, curricular and classroom resources as well
as opportunities to meet teachers across the country in content specific cohorts to share best practices, discuss challenges, and make meaningful connections. Additionally, NMSI coaches will facilitate online study sessions (both live and on-demand) for AP students. In alignment with the District’s Goals & Guardrails, this partnership will support High School of the Future’s efforts to increase the percentage of students who are proficient on all three state high school assessments (Algebra, Literature, and Biology). Also, related to college and career readiness, this partnership will support the effort to increase the number of students who enroll in AP courses and earn qualifying scores on AP exams. Teacher practice and student outcomes will be closely monitored with a focus on equity. Program activities will be adjusted as needed to help ensure that achievement gains take place across demographic and economic groups. Student performance data from all three state high school
assessments (Algebra, Literature, and Biology) and AP exams (number of students who take AP exams and earn qualifying scores) will be used to measure the success of the partnership. CRF and NMSI will work closely with school leadership teams to set specific goals that are relevant based on the school’s academic strategy and school improvement plan. Since 2007, NMSI has served over 2,000 K-12 schools and 55 colleges and universities to impact 65,000 teachers and 2 million students across 38 states. NMSI’s flagship College Readiness Program has been studied in various settings, producing a growing body of evidence that indicates increases in the effectiveness of teachers as measured by raising the probability that students will take and earn qualifying scores on AP exams and significant and longer-term positive postsecondary and economic impacts. According to data from the College Board and the National Student Clearinghouse, between 2015 and 2019, NMSI
schools across the country saw an increase from 7,566 AP qualifying scores in the year before NMSI programming to 13,253 AP qualifying scores in the third year of NMSI programming. This is an increase of 75.2%, which compares to a national average of only 13.7% during that same time. The increases were even larger for minority groups at NMSI schools: a 99.6% increase for Black students (from 448 to 894), and a 114.6% increase for Latino students (from 1,009 to 2,165). For female students, there was an increase of 71.5% (from 3,893 to 6,675). Additionally, NMSI students outpace national averages on key post- secondary metrics across demographic groups. Between 2015 and 2019, 50% of NMSI students earned a postsecondary degree within four years, compared to a national average of only 41%; and 35% of NMSI students earned a postsecondary degree in STEM, which is nearly double the national average of 18%.
The Childhood Resilience Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the education and protection of Philadelphia youth. The Foundation will facilitate the partnership between the School District and NMSI to help ensure that students and their families are adequately resourced and motivated to participate in the educational opportunities set forth by the partnership. CRF will supplement NMSI programming with mentorship-focused career and personal development exercises and opportunities. Based in Philadelphia, CRF will manage external communications and facilitate the community’s engagement in the partnership.
NMSI AND CRF worked with the Office of Academic Supports to engage high school leaders around this partnership opportunity and High School of the Future expressed interest and committed to supporting its success. Office Originating Request: Academic Support

Title: Amendment of Contract with Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. – Professional Development and Evaluation Tool - AS AMENDED Board of Education Meeting Date: 4/21/2022 Action under consideration The Administration recommends that the Board of Education authorize The School District of Philadelphia, through the Superintendent or his designee, to execute and perform an amendment of a contract, subject to funding, as follows: With: Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. Purpose: Professional development and educator evaluation tool for teachers, principals and non- instructional professionals Original Start Date: 8/18/2017 Current End Date: 6/30/2022 Amended End Date: 6/30/2024 Currently Authorized Compensation: $1,607,360 Additional Compensation: $842,000 Total New Compensation: $2,449,360 Location: All Schools; Administrative Office(s) Renewal Options: Yes Number of Options: 1 Duration of each option to extend: Years: 1 Months:
Maximum compensation authorized per option period: Each option at a fixed amount of
110% of the prior year's amount Description: To deliver on our promise to provide all students an education that allows them to thrive, succeed and lead in a global society, we must identify what great teachers and leaders are, evaluate teachers and leaders against core competencies and skills, and provide teachers and leaders with targeted professional development. The Educator Effectiveness System established a statewide, comprehensive rating system for teachers, administrators and non-teaching professional employees based on traditional classroom observations and multiple measures of student achievement. Every year, the School District evaluates and develops over 300 school leaders, 9,000 teachers, and 800 non-instructional staff members. Act 13 of 2020 (Act 13), which revised the Educator Effectiveness process used to evaluate professional employees in PreK-12 education across Pennsylvania beginning in the 2021-22 school year, requires that all educators are evaluated on
multiple measures of effectiveness. Furthermore, Act 13 requires that the District establish and maintain a permanent record system containing ratings for each employee, as well as regular reporting of aggregate evaluation data results to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. To comply with these regulations, and facilitate a timely, high-quality educator evaluation system, the District requires a proven technology solution. Cornerstone provides the District with a platform to deliver critical compliance training and subsequent tracking. Examples of training include Act 126, Act 71, District Policy 252, and Threat Assessment Training for school staff. In addition, the District is now able to create its own online learning content that is directly compatible with Cornerstone’s technical specifications to enhance professional learning across many content areas and groups of stakeholders. This functionality provides flexibility and customization to meet the needs of the District.
Cornerstone OnDemand Inc. has a proven track record of partnering with institutions to deliver programs and solutions that help leaders understand each employee's knowledge and abilities to easily and effectively align organizational talent to institutional requirements and execute training and learning initiatives to address any skills gaps.

Action Item - 25. Title: Acceptance of Donations of School-Based Programs and Services - School Partner Agreement Process - Added 3.31.2022 Board of Education Meeting Date: 4/21/2022 Action under consideration The Administration recommends that the Board of Education authorize The School District of Philadelphia, through the Superintendent or his designee, to accept the donation of school-based programs and services from, and to execute and perform School Partner Agreements with, various organizations, as follows: Purpose: To provide programs and services in District schools at no cost to the District; increase compliance of those organizations with District policies, procedures and relevant legislation; and collect more detailed information about partner programs' scope of work and intended impact Start Date: 7/1/2022 End Date: 6/30/2023 Location(s): All schools Description: This re-authorizes the written agreement (School Partnership Agreement or "SPA") that
standardizes and streamlines the over 1,000 separate and distinct school-based partnerships providing school-based programs and services at no cost to schools or the District. The SPA includes a set format for the scope of work that collects needed information about the program or service including type of program, number of schools and students served, program frequency and intensity, and intended impact, especially as related to District anchor goals. The SPA also collects required information such as liability insurance certificates and clearances as well as clarifies all pertinent terms and conditions. Nine years ago, the District established the Office of Strategic Partnerships (OSP) to improve the way the District and schools engage with the many external organizations that offer programming and services at no cost to the District or schools. Since the 2015-2016 school year, OSP and the Office of Research and Evaluation have conducted an annual
survey (School Census) with each school principal to learn about school-based external supports and programs, including partners and fee-for-service programs. From the School Census, the District has learned of close to 2,000 separate and distinct programs based in schools each year. As OSP continues to build out its portfolio and expand upon its work, a major focus has been establishing a more standardized and efficient onboarding process for school-based external partner organizations. OSP collaborated with the Office of General Counsel to create a streamlined legal
agreement that both standardizes the information contained in the scope of work for donated services and creates a platform to collect necessary compliance documentation required by the District. This increases the number of organizations with which the District has executed legal agreements and creates a centralized process for collecting accurate data regarding the location and nature of school-based partnerships. This work also dovetails with cross- departmental efforts initiated by OSP to create an efficient process for collecting necessary documentation like clearances for partner program staff and certificates of general liability insurance. Finally, this agreement process will give the District the opportunity to collect existing third-party evaluation data for partner programs that have such evaluations. Collecting this information through a centralized process will enable the District to expand its
understanding of the role of partners in helping to address District goals and priorities.

Description: The Department of Transportation Services ("Transportation Services") provides yellow school bus transportation to eligible students attending District managed schools. The District currently operates a fleet of 331 yellow school buses. Of this total, 93.6% (310) are diesel, 4.8% (16) are unleaded fuel, and 1.6% (5) are electric-powered buses. These buses are utilized daily at maximum capacity for the transport of approximately 5,000 students across approximately 200 routes to and from school, as well as servicing day trips and athletic programs. The average age of the District's bus fleet is 13 years. However, the average age of the 200 oldest buses is 15 years. Combined with allocated Capital funds and existing and pending grants, Transportation plans to purchase 21 additional electric buses. The electric buses will replace older diesel buses. This will enable the Office of Transportation Services to continue to fulfill the District's
mission of providing safe and efficient transportation. Electric school buses will provide cleaner, healthier air to our students and communities. Additionally, the awarded funds will be used to assist the District with the cost of replacing diesel school buses that have been targeted for replacement due to age, reliability and maintenance costs.

The programs specialize in educating out-of-school youth, students who have not been successful in traditional school settings, students with life challenges who require intensive school-based supports, students significantly at risk of dropping out, those subject to disciplinary transfer or expulsion, and students returning from
adjudicated placements. The District sought proposals for high quality academic programs that educate out-of-school youth or young adults, students significantly at risk of dropping out, students subject to disciplinary transfer or expulsion, students whose learning was disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, students not making adequate progress in traditional school settings, and students returning from adjudicated placements. The District is seeking authority to contract with various providers of alternative education programs that are needed to ensure that the nearly 3,000 students currently enrolled in Opportunity Network contracted school programs will continue to receive educational services with no interruption. According to the National Center for Education, the overall national high school graduation rate for SY2019-2020 was 86%. However, Philadelphia trends below the national average. The District’s Office of Research and Evaluation’s Summary of 2019-20 High School
Graduation Rates in Philadelphia (April 2021) found the School District’s graduation rate trailing at 73%, although this is a 4-percentage point increase from the year before. Despite the previous year’s increase, researchers remain concerned about the potential impact school closures (due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic) will have on graduation rates for SY2020-2021. Recent information from the Brookings Institute suggests that other large cities across the country have already seen a decrease in graduation rates and even student class assignment completion rates. Furthermore, limited data from SY2019-20 across multiple large urban cities suggest high absenteeism rates, and while definitive dropout and retention rates are still being released across the nation, there is concern that stressors caused by the pandemic will drive these numbers up as students become increasingly disengaged, and manage distractions at home that limit their ability to focus and dedicate time to coursework.
Among Philadelphia’s 16-24 year-old population, 25% are disconnected from work and school. These young people are not engaged in “human capital building” activities necessary
for long-term labor market success. In turn, Philadelphia’s economy is adversely impacted through lower tax contributions and increased publicly financed benefits and incarceration costs. Between SY2017-2018 and SY2020-2021, more than 5,900 Philadelphia youth and adults received direct referrals and enrollment counseling from the Opportunity Network’s Re-engagement Center to enroll in an Opportunity Network program to earn their high school diploma. In consideration of this demand and citywide need, it is imperative that the School District continue to invest in Opportunity Network programs that offer students a second chance to earn a high school diploma. Programs not only seek to increase the high school diploma completion rate, for example, by awarding close to 1900 high school diplomas in the first three years of the current contract, but they also utilize strategies for improving students’
foundational literacy and mathematics skills that are highly sought after in the labor market and higher education. In addition, a small learning environment, low student to case manager ratios, focus on social-emotional learning (SEL), and postsecondary bridging programs are contractually required components for Opportunity Network programs. These components, among others, help to ensure that our students receive a comprehensive and supportive education aimed at preparing them for successful experiences after program completion or graduation. Proposals were sought for high quality academic programs that educate out-of-school youth or young adults, students significantly at risk of dropping out, students subject to disciplinary transfer or expulsion, students whose learning was disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, students not making adequate progress in traditional school settings, and
students returning from adjudicated placements. These programs provide students with educational experiences and other supports that prepare them for high school graduation and postsecondary success. In most instances, students will earn their diplomas while attending these programs. In some instances, however, students will transition to a diploma-granting program or school upon completion of their behavioral goals. Typically, Opportunity Network students are significantly behind on the path to promotion or graduation (defined as two or more years behind age-appropriate grade level), and need programming that simultaneously teaches both foundational skills and advanced concepts via a teaching model of acceleration in lieu of remediation. The School District’s current portfolio of Opportunity Network educational options includes an array of program types and offers a diversity of instructional models and schedules to provide students with a “best” fit to support their academic success
and broaden the academic opportunities available to students. Opportunity Network programs address the diverse learning needs of students including special education students and English learners, provide students with personalized supports, and prepare students for postsecondary success. Black and Latino students historically have higher dropout rates and lower graduation rates compared to White and Asian students. The majority of students enrolled in the Opportunity Network are Black or Latino (67% Black; 26% Latino for 2021-22SY). Our school programs seek to reduce the impact of these disproportional dropout rates by increasing graduation
rates for these historically marginalized students through reengaging students and providing them with the opportunity to earn a high school diploma in a highly supportive school environment. This outcome supports the Board's College & Career Goal (every student graduates ready for college and careers). Opportunity Network contracted programs prioritize healthy school climates and restorative school cultures. In the most recent year reported (2019-20SY), the Network had an overall 94% Climate Score (source: https://schoolprofiles.philasd.org/opportunity/altedprogressreport), as calculated by the District Performance Office. Specifically, only 0.1% of Opportunity Network students have one or more out of school suspensions for SY2021-22 (Source: Qlik). These measures of student and parent engagement - inclusive of attendance, suspension and survey results - reflect the Opportunity Network’s alignment to several Board guardrails including Welcoming
and Supportive Schools, Partnering with Parents/Family Members, and Addressing Racist Practices. The last is a point of pride and focus for the network as we work to address that Black and Latino students have historically received a disproportionate amount of school disciplinary consequences while simultaneously supporting the School District’s only transition programs for students receiving disciplinary transfers. Opportunity Network contracted programs work to ameliorate academic, social, and psychological barriers, and "provide access to the resources that support academic learning and student led innovation". Although these programs are small in size, ranging from 90 to 400 students, 100% of currently contracted programs have at least a 1:100 behavioral/case management staff to student ratio. Opportunity Network contracted programs also work to maintain learning environments that are "supportive and inclusive of the most marginalized groups within the school community".
The success of these contracts will be measured using a formal three-part annual evaluation structure that is contractually based. The three-part annual evaluation includes an Operational Walkthrough, Instructional Walkthrough and Alternative Education Progress Report (AEPR) for each program. Taken together, these evaluations provide qualitative and quantitative data for program performance that inform decisions related to contract renewal, termination, program expansion, and District support. Reports are issued for each formal evaluation component and summarize a program's performance based on a set of contractually-based standards and requirements. The success of these contracts has been and will continue to be measured using a formal three-part annual evaluation structure that is contractually based. The three-part annual evaluation consists of an Operational Walkthrough, an Instructional Walkthrough and an
Alternative Education Progress Report (AEPR). Reports are available on the School District’s Opportunity Network webpage for each formal evaluation and summarize a program's performance based on a set of contractually-based standards and requirements (https://www.philasd.org/opportunitynetwork/evaluations/).
Key measures of success include: 1,893 graduates over a three-year period from SY2017- 2018 through SY2019-2020; students earned a combined total of 3,049 high school credits over a three-year period from SY2017-2018 through SY2019-2020; 71% three-year average Climate Score for the Opportunity Network on the AEPR, which measures student and parent engagement. The overarching goal of Opportunity Network contracted alternative education programs is to educate students who have not been successful in a traditional school setting. Research for Action published a study in 2013 that examined the impacts of Accelerated programs on credit accumulation and graduation rates (Norton, Gold & Peralta, May 2013). Researchers found that significantly more Accelerated school students earned six or more credits in one school year when compared to similar students enrolled in neighborhood high schools. In addition, Accelerated school students had significantly higher five- and six-year graduation
rates when compared to similar students enrolled in neighborhood high schools. Zolkoski, et al. (2016) found that protective factors associated with alternative education programs can offset the negative effects of a student’s home and community environments. The authors identified three protective factors that are also cornerstone features of Opportunity Network contracted programs: (a) having caring teachers, (b) positive and supportive learning environment, and (c) small student–teacher ratio. Results also suggested that alternative education students demonstrate greater levels of resilience and success in adulthood compared to similar students who did not attend alternative schools. In their study of alternative high schools in New York City, Baum-Tuccillo, et al. (2020) found that 82% of students reported that their alternative school helped them overcome personal obstacles. Nearly 90% of students reported that they gained a higher sense of purpose and
belief in their own success when attending their alternative high school, and only 45% reported the same when asked about their experience at their previous traditional high school. In addition, students reported that their alternative high school helped them to develop skills for setting goals, finishing what they start, and managing their time. The District engaged providers through a public solicitation process, before which the Opportunity Network engaged internal stakeholders in a feedback session seeking feedback regarding: (1) What changes, if any, would they like to see with our partnership? (2) What concerns, if any, did they have? (3) What initiatives or policies would they like to see alternative education programs represented in (or an increase in representation)? and (4) What challenges, if any, have they encountered in delivering services to the programs? If this action item is approved, then the feedback we received from District colleagues will be
incorporated into the new 5-year contracts. Office Originating Request: Schools

Annual Charter Evaluation 2020-21 Renewal Recommendation Report Mastery Charter School - Shoemaker Campus REPORT PURPOSE This report is the primary means by which the Charter Schools Office (CSO) of The School District of Philadelphia (District) presents its findings and recommendations regarding a charter school’s application for charter renewal to the Board of Education. At the end of each charter term, Pennsylvania requires charter school authorizers to conduct a comprehensive review of a charter school’s performance during that term. The CSO bases its recommendation to renew a charter for a subsequent charter term on a comprehensive review of the current charter term across three domains: Academic Success, Organizational Compliance and Viability, and Financial Health and Sustainability. The Charter School Performance Framework provides a detailed outline of the standards and categories that the CSO evaluates within each domain. Each domain
receives a rating of “Meets Standard,” “Approaches Standard,” or “Does Not Meet Standard” based on points and ratings received. The Charter School Performance Framework also outlines the point and rating system. These ratings and the substance of the evidence within each domain guide the overall renewal recommendation. If a charter school receives a “Does Not Meet Standard” rating in one or more domains, the CSO will review all evidence and data underlying the ratings to determine whether it will recommend a charter school for non-renewal. How Performance Impacts Renewal School receives "Approaches Standard" or "Meets Standard" ratings in all three domains School receives a "Does Not Meet Standard" rating in any of the domains School is recommended for renewal, possibly with conditions School is considered for a non-renewal recommendation Page 1 of 28

Under no circumstances will the Charter School request payment from the School District or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for more students than set forth herein nor enroll students in different grades including Kindergarten, without Board of Education approval by action item; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Charter School has agreed to the following provisions related to the School District’s Charter School Performance Framework:
1. The Charter School agrees to participate in the School District’s Charter School Performance Framework. The Charter School Performance Framework includes an annual assessment of the Charter School’s academic, financial, and organizational performance as well as compliance with Applicable Laws. Organizational performance includes, but is not limited to, a review of the Charter School's admissions and enrollment policies and practices, student discipline practices, special education programming, ELL programming, and Board of Trustees governance in order to assess compliance with the Charter and Applicable Laws, federal, state and local guidance, policies, and Charter Schools Office procedures. Financial performance includes, but is not limited to, a review of the Charter School's financial health and long-term sustainability, and generally accepted standards of fiscal management. 2. The Charter School agrees to provide or allow to be provided to the School
District and the Charter Schools Office all records, including student level academic performance, necessary to properly assess the academic success, organizational compliance and viability, and financial health and sustainability of the Charter School under the Charter School Performance Framework, timely and pursuant to Charter Schools Office procedures. 3. The Charter School acknowledges that achieving the performance objectives identified in the Charter School Performance Framework is critical to meeting the needs of public school students in Philadelphia. The Charter School shall actively monitor its own progress towards achieving objectives identified in the Charter School Performance Framework. The Charter Schools Office may also evaluate any or all of the performance domains – academic, organizational and financial – on an annual basis formally. 4. During the Term of the Charter, changes to the Charter School Performance
Framework may be made as a result of changes to Applicable Laws or changes to charter school data availability and minor changes may be made as a result of needed adjustments to academic, financial and organizational assessment criteria. The Charter
5 Schools Office will provide notice to charter schools in Philadelphia of any change to the Charter School Performance Framework prior to implementation of such change. The Charter Schools Office would use its best efforts to solicit feedback on changes from Philadelphia charter schools in advance of implementation of changes.

Location(s): Administrative Offices Description: The Office of General Counsel (OGC) attempts to handle as many matters in-house as possible and to reduce reliance and expenditures on outside counsel. OGC accordingly retains outside counsel on an as-needed basis to represent the Board of Education, The School District of Philadelphia, its present and former employees, and present and former
members of the Board of Education and the School Reform Commission. The types of matters and extent of needed outside legal services fluctuate and are not susceptible of precise estimation. Outside legal services are retained to provide or assist in providing legal services in various matters based on, among other things, expertise, complexity, and resource capacity and technology capabilities. No firm or lawyer is entitled to receive any District legal work. OGC seeks reduced hourly rates, with firms often significantly reducing their billing rates for District matters, or under alternative, flat, and capped fee arrangements, and through pro bono representation in some instances. In June 2019, the Board authorized OGC to spend $4,250,000 per year for FY20-FY22 on outside legal services following a Request for Qualifications in 2019. In March 2021, the Board authorized an increase to $5,750,000 for FY21, of which OGC spent under
$5,500,000. For FY22, OGC has again projected an annualized need to spend more in fees and costs than the initially authorized amount for various reasons, such as need for specific expertise in highly technical and regulated areas, document-intensive matter support, medical and maternity leaves, vacancies, and hiring challenges notwithstanding concerted efforts to fill all vacancies. Those vacancies have accounted for salary and benefits savings in OGC of approximately $600,000 in FY22. OGC asked the Board to authorize spending of an additional $950,000 for outside counsel in FY2022, which the Board approved on March 24, 2022. OGC is returning to the Board to seek an additional $1,400,000 for FY22, to account for payments made to outside counsel firms for services needed by other offices (some of which were also necessitated by vacancies and leaves) that were not captured prior to the March request given a
misunderstanding by OGC around interpretation of budget coding and reporting functions in the ERP system. It is important to note that the total costs were already contemplated in the budget across all departments, but that insufficient authorization existed within OGC, which is responsible for all outside counsel contracts, to enable payment of those funds. This request is needed to adjust authorization so that amounts are appropriately accounted for as coming from the outside counsel budget. Senior staff in OGC and Finance/Budget have met to evaluate the
circumstances leading to the confusion, and have identified and are addressing the reason for the misunderstanding. This action item does not request a change to the amount previously requested by OGC and authorized by the Board on March 24, 2022, for spending on outside counsel for FY23, of $5,000,000.
