THE BOARD'S NOMINATING COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE DISCLOSURES TO ENSURE THAT (A) THERE ARE NO CONFLICTS, OR (B) ANY BOARD-MEMBER OR OFFICER INTERESTS WHICH CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR CONFLICTS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY NOTED, AND THAT CARE HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE BOARD TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THE BOARD'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY TO ENSURE THAT THE INTEREST(S) IN QUESTION DO NOT INFLUENCE BOARD OR MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. IF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE A DIRECTOR OR COMMITTEE MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, IT SHALL INFORM SUCH MEMBER OF THE BASIS FOR SUCH BELIEF AND AFFORD SUCH MEMBER AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO DISCLOSE. IF AFTER HEARING THE MEMBER'S RESPONSE AND AFTER MAKING FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE BOARD CHAIR OR THE GOVERNANCE/ NOMINATING COMMITTEE DETERMINES THE MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IT SHALL TAKE APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION.

In 2025, over 150,000 families accessed the website. In addition, Great Philly Schools hosted an annual K-12 Fair in October, where over 6,000 students and families participated and gathered information about school options in Philadelphia. The second technology platform is Applyphillycharter.org. Elevate 215 operates the Apply Philly Charter (www.applyphillycharter.org) platform, an online student enrollment system that manages the application and acceptance process for 71% of the public charter school campuses citywide. In 2025, over 29,000 families submitted 130,000 applications to select a K-12 public charter school.
