School Reform Commission

The School Reform Commission (SRC) was an organization established to oversee and improve public education, particularly in troubled school districts. It aimed to enhance student performance by implementing strategic changes in management, curriculum, and resources. The SRC often had the authority to make significant decisions, including school closures, staffing changes, and budget allocations. While the goal was to increase accountability and effectiveness in education, it faced various challenges and criticisms, particularly regarding community involvement and the handling of local educational needs. Ultimately, the SRC model was seen as a way to drive reform in struggling school systems.
