The African American Charter School Coalition’s (AACSC’s) mission is centered in addressing and reversing the discrimination and many inequities that exist between white and black led schools in Philadelphia when it comes to renewal, expansions, philanthropic funding, resources, and support.
AACSC’s education reform focus is anchored in the belief that Black-led and founded charter schools in Philadelphia are foundational to the permanent fabric of our public education society.
Our Black Schools Matter mission embodies our forceful and unrelenting commitment to advance the need for equitable educational choices and funding opportunities in the African American communities we serve. We achieve this by vigorously promoting and addressing matters of diversity, equity and inclusiveness in educational funding, policies and practices.
We further aim to dismantle pervasive systemic racism, racial inequities and disparate treatment. This is an urgent imperative in order to protect black founded and led institutions which serve as vital educational and community hubs for black and brown parents and children. We are deeply committed to playing a critical role in improving the social and academic success of all students by any means necessary.
Brutalized by the triple trauma of persistent poverty, police brutality, and low political power, this moment is our call to action to take our place as an integral part of the movement for racial, economic and social justice.
We will add value through attentive advocacy using our platform as educational practice leaders.
