The School District of Philadelphia is the seventh largest district in the United States ; 217,405 students attend the district's 273 schools. In a decision reached in 2000 to increase school efficacy, the district's board of education established a more corporate structure. The current CEO is Paul Vallas , who previously headed the Chicago Public Schools . Both the city and the state have representatives on a five-member School Reform Commission that oversees the district.


SCHOOL UNIFORMS

All students in the district are required to wear School Uniform s; the decision on what uniform to establish is determined by the school. This is generally loosely defined and determined locally by each school.
