About us

The Philadelphia Public School Notebook is an independent quarterly newspaper that 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.

The paper was founded in 1994 by a group of concerned parents, teachers, and community members committed to improving public education. Over our 12-year history, we have developed into a widely read and respected publication with a circulation of 55,000 copies. Most of these are distributed free of charge through each Philadelphia public school and Free Library branch as well as through charter schools and over 250 community organizations.

Each issue of the Notebook focuses on a theme of vital importance to public education in Philadelphia and contains both news and commentary in English and Spanish.
