The School Reform Commission

The School Reform Commission (SRC) was a governing body responsible for overseeing public education in certain areas, notably in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Established to improve school performance, the SRC aimed to address various challenges such as low student achievement and inadequate resources. It had the authority to manage budgets, hire staff, and implement policies to enhance educational outcomes. The SRC often collaborated with community stakeholders and educators to drive reforms. However, it faced criticism for its decision-making processes and accountability measures. Ultimately, the SRC was dissolved in 2018, transitioning control back to the local school district.
