Advocacy Letter
Letter to Pittsburgh Public Schools opposing student outcomes focused governance
On February 24, 2025, Advancement Project, in solidarity with 412 Justice, the Education Rights Network, the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools, wrote the Board of Directors of Pittsburgh Public Schools to vote no on the 000 Series Policy Revisions for Consideration, also known as the Student Outcomes Focused Governance (SOFG) policy proposal. The SOFG Proposal strips parents, guardians, teachers, staff, and community members from having a say in their public schools by restricting the public’s ability to provide input and feedback into decision-making and limits the policy-making power of the elected officials.
