Our One Philly, One Future $7.1 Billion FY27 Budget is now law.   This budget keeps Philadelphia moving forward while making critical investments in:        •    Affordability     •    Economic mobility       •    Public safety      •    Housing      •    Education and     •    Many other critical areas for our residents    None of this work happens alone. I want to thank @CouncilmemberKJ, @watlington_sr, @PHLschools, @PHLschoolboard, and every member of @phlcouncil for coming together to save the critical 340 school-based jobs, protect our kids’ futures, and promising to work together and commit to finding dedicated, recurring, annual local revenues for our District and our children in the future.    The work goes on, and we have many more miles to go, Philadelphia.    I’m not going anywhere, and I will never stop fighting for the people of our great city.

This is Philly's moment

When the moment calls for leadership, you roll up your sleeves and get to work because our children are worth it. I want to thank @CouncilmemberKJ Kenyatta Johnson and every member of @phlcouncil, Superintendent @watlington_sr and the team at @PHLschools, @PHLschoolboard and Board President Reginald Streater, and our advocates, educators, labor partners, and everyone who stayed at the table and worked through the tough conversations to deliver for Philadelphia’s students. Together, we protected 340 school-based positions and made a shared commitment to finding a dedicated, recurring source of local funding for our schools. This is what partnership looks like. This is what One Philly looks like. Philadelphia’s students are making extraordinary progress. The Class of 2026 alone earned nearly $450 million in scholarship offers. We cannot afford to lose that momentum. We are united. We are committed. And we are ready to keep working together to secure the resources our schools need and the opportunities our children deserve. #OnePhilly

🎉📚 It's the last day of school for students! Congratulations to all students for completing the school year, and a special shout-out to the Class of 2026 on reaching this milestone. Wishing everyone a safe, restful, and fun summer! ☀️🎓 #PHLED
