You will also want to review your child’s academic history, visit the school and talk to teachers, administrators, students and parents to determine the best fit. This directory includes school profiles, contact information and admission requirements and academic expectations for each school. I hope that you will take the time to consider your goals and how The School District of Philadelphia, with its vast array of programs and services, can help you to achieve them.

  • School Cluster List
    APPENDIX G: SCHOOL CLUSTERS Providers may use the updated grid, along with public and charter school enrollment numbers and prior average utilization of behavioral health services, to estimate number and types of staff needed to adequately meet the needs of children in their clusters of interest. School enrollment information can be found at the School District of Philadelphia website here. Based on prior year utilization of behavioral health services, providers may calculate 2-7% of the total enrollment as an estimate of the number of children participating in behavioral health treatment. Providers may apply the 2% to “Model” schools, 4% to “Reinforce” schools, and 7% to “Watch” and “Intervene” schools. Please note that prior utilization is not a guarantee of future utilization.

  • IBHS Regionalization Family Letter
    July 7, 2020 Dear Family Member, You are receiving this letter because your child has been receiving Behavioral Health Rehabilitative Services (BHRS) or School Therapeutic Services (STS) in school, in your home, and/or in the community. We are excited to inform you about some improvements to these services. We sent you a letter in March 2020 telling you that Pennsylvania’s Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) released new rules for a new service called Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS). IBHS will replace BHRS and STS this year. Community Behavioral Health (CBH)—the organization that pays for Medicaid behavioral health (mental health and substance use) services in Philadelphia—has worked closely with parents and families, the School District of Philadelphia (SDP), and others to figure out how to best support you and your child as these services change to IBHS. CBH is moving to make preferred IBHS providers for different parts of the city. These providers will be grouped by neighborhoods and will make sure your child can get timely and high-quality treatment. However, family choice will remain as a priority. IBHS providers will be assigned to specific neighborhoods so that one treatment provider can give services to children and their families in all places (home, school, and community). Specifically, providers will be matched to the ZIP code of where your child goes to school. The providers were selected based on who will be able to serve children and families in the best possible way. Some improvements

  • The School District of Philadelphia
    The School District of Philadelphia Potential Impact of $94.5M Revenue Reduction on School Budgets Methodology and Notes Key Green Text = Can Be Cut Red Text = Cannot Be Cut Notes: The “Enrollment Teachers” category includes Enrollment Driven Prep Teachers. 2011-12 budget data is post mid-year (December 2011) budget cuts. The Operating Budget Allotment in 2011-12 and 2012-13 is equivalent to the Per School and Per Student Allotments in 2010-11. Enrollment numbers are as projected in the spring preceding each budget year for the purpose of developing school budgets. All data is from the Staffing Management System (SMS). Data is as of 4/26/12. What can and can’t be cut? A decrease in operating revenues would have to be offset by cuts in the Operating Budget only, not in Grants. Grants budget information is shown for reference only. This analysis assumes the Enrollment Driven Teachers category is not cuttable because of maximum class sizes in the PFT collective bargaining agreement. This analysis assumes the following are not “cuttable” in FY13 because of state and federal service requirements; the extent of budget cuts that were already made in FY12; and the time that that would be required to reduce costs by changing the School District’s service model. o Gifted Support o Nursing Services o Special Education – High Incidence and Low Incidence o English as a Second Language (ESOL) o Bilingual Counselor Assistants Why are enrollments and poverty rates provided? Enrollment is important for context for Enrollment Driven Teachers (100% enrollment driven) and Operating Budget Allotment (partially enrollment driven).
