Philadelphia Public School Notebook Information

The Philadelphia Public School Notebook is an independent news service serving thousands of supporters of the Philadelphia public schools. The Notebook serves as an information source and voice for parents, students, teachers, and other members of the community who are working for quality and equality in Philadelphia's public schools. A group of concerned parents, teachers, and community members committed to improving public education founded the Notebook in 1994. We remain an independent journalistic enterprise, with nonprofit status supported by foundation and donor support. Over more than two decades, we have developed into a widely read and respected resource online and in print. Six editions of our free print newspaper are published each year, and 55,000 copies are distributed to each Philadelphia public school and Free Library branch as well as through charter schools and over 250 community organizations. Our web site has 40,000 unique visitors each month, and our stories and commentary are posted on our Facebook page and on other news sites through content-sharing partnerships.
