To: Philadelphia CIty Council
Tell the City Council we deserve a vote on local control!
I call upon the Philadelphia City Council to support the Charter Amendment to abolish the School Reform Commission and return local control of Philadelphia’s schools by placing it on the ballot.
Why is this important?
We, the citizens of Philadelphia, believe the state’s takeover of our schools through the School Reform Commission has weakened the voices of parents and community in the operation of public education in Philadelphia. We have gathered 40,000 signatures to place this measure on the ballot that would return local control to Philly.
We now call upon the Philadelphia City Council to stand aside and put the amendment on the November ballot to abolish the School Reform Commission and return local control of Philadelphia’s schools.
They should also encourage their constituents to support the amendment.
