Philadelphia’s School Reform Commission has decided that the best way to address its looming deficit is to increase it. With each new charter approved by the SRC, the public schools lose $7,000. The latest estimate is that the public schools will transfer over $139 million in the next five years to new charters. With the plan drafted by the Boston Consulting Group, the SRC is well on its way to putting public education out of business in Philadelphia by transferring public assets to private hands.
