8:30:11--Philadelphia, Pa_(Education Reform): Sen. Mike Stack today introduced a legislation that would eliminate the Philadelphia School Reform Commission (SRC) and replace it with an unpaid, elected school board.

"The SRC has completely down our city's public school students, their families and the taxpayers. The last several months have showed the SRC's dysfunctional governance because they were not prepared to deal with severe, yet anticipated cuts to public school funding. When this happened, who could parents and students turn to? Who could they hold accountable for the poor planning? The answer is no one, because under the current system the SRC isn't accountable to anyone. This un-elected board is unaccountable to the taxpayers. Yet taxpayers will have to foot the bill through increased property taxes. It's time to put the power of the School District of Philadelphia into the hands of the citizens whose taxes go to out public schools, and that's what my legislation accomplishes." - Sen. Mike Stack.
