    Philly ballot measure could bolster education oversight for kids in foster care, juvenile detention

    A Philadelphia ballot measure (Ballot Question 2) seeks to make permanent the Office of the Youth Ombudsperson, established in 2022 to monitor the well-being of youth in foster care, behavioral health treatment, and correctional facilities. The office, created via an executive order by former mayor Jim Kenney, could gain greater investigative power and funding if the measure passes. Supporters highlight its role in addressing educational and health deficiencies, while opponents, including AFSCME District Council 47, argue it would grant excessive oversight authority.
