New School Chair = More Corrupt Philly Politics

as helen g. points out at ypp:

In a shocking turn of events, both the Inquirer and the Daily News are reporting that School Reform Commission Chair Sandra Dungee Glenn may be off the SRC. Media reports say that she may be replaced by attorney Robert Archie.

A few weeks back, on the Public School Notebook’s blog, I wrote about the baffling secrecy and lack of transparency around choosing the members of the School Reform Commission, the city/state oversight body for the Philadelphia public schools.

Basically one of the most powerful positions in the philly public schools system is appointed with no oversite, transparency, or public knowledge or input.

Truthtold digs a little deeper:

This is political payback for the primary. I forgot about the whole calling Nutter "white". If I had remembered that, I would have called it initially for what it is, not about helping kids, but Nutter telling Chaka that he remembered the slap and to the winner go the spoils.

WTF.
