A fair RiSE process needs four things: 1. A timeline that is kept 2. A real seat at the table 3. Clear, public rules 4. Two-way communication Stand with us. Support a fair system for 65,000 students in Philly. #RiSEFramework #PHLCharters

How PCE has shown up on RiSE: Our members sit on the working group. Four position papers. Board testimony. A lawsuit over unlawful renewal conditions. "A moratorium is not opposition to accountability. It is a demand for it." #RiSEFramework #PhillyCharters

RiSE so far: Late 2024: launched. June 2026: details delayed. September 2026: updates paused. 2027-28: earliest use. Meanwhile, schools are still judged under the old rules. "Transparency matters, and it is not showing up in this process." #RiSEFramework #PHLCharters

When the rules for grading a school are unclear, families feel it. About 65,000 students attend PCE member schools across Philly. Their parents chose those schools, and they deserve a fair, clear and consistent process. RiSE matters to every family we serve. #PhillyCharters

The district delayed RiSE's release and still hasn't shared its data or methodology. Many were hopeful this process would fix a broken system. Now, without transparency, the sector no longer trusts that it will. #RiSEFramework #PHLCharters

RiSE pilots in 2027-28 and will shape charter accountability for the next decade. One shot to get it right. It needs to happen in the open, not behind closed doors. Our position papers: philadelphiacharters.org/res… #RiSEFramework #PHLCharters #PhillyEducation #charterschool
