Philly Council panel votes for referendum to abolish SRC (Newsworks)

"Local Control" for Philadelphia School District . . .

Philadelphians making progress towards accountability for our own Public School system.

Important discussions and decisions must start prior to "election day".

Why have our Urban schools been summarily tagged "failing"? Will we continue with the current Paradigm ? Will we be content with incremental change ? Will incremental change be successful ? What happens next ?

Scroll down through Newsworks article to 1st "comment" for a summary and link to "Failing Schools or Failing Paradigm?".
