As many of you may know, the School District of Philadelphia is required to develop and submit a strategic plan to the Pennsylvania Department of Education every five years. This plan has several components, one of which is a Chapter 12 Student Services Plan, a “written plan for the implementation of a comprehensive and integrated K-12 program of the student services based on the needs of its students” (PDE website). Student Services Plans are expected to be an integral part of the instructional program at all levels of the school system and must include:


 * K- 12 Student Support Services to Remove Barriers to Learning (Comprehensive Student Assistance Process)
 * Developmental Services
 * Diagnostic, Intervention and Referral Services
 * Consultation and Coordination Services
 * Coordination with Community Agencies
 * Licensed or Certified Providers
 * Policies and Procedures for Emergency Care and Administration of Medicine and Treatment
 * Code of Conduct
 * Student Records Plan

The District’s strategic planning process will take place from January to May. Please take a moment to click on the Discussion area at the top of this page.
