The executive summary and full text of Governor Schweiker's plan for Philadelphia's schools is online and can be accessed through our "War on Harrisburg" web page. Also available is the full text of the Edison Schools Report on Philadelphia. Both require Adobe acrobat.
Also on the page today:
1. Chris Whittle--Edison's founder--saying, in response to criticism, "are we going to care about the children, or are we going to care about the adults."
2. Story that Edison will get $40 million in management fees under its contract.
3. Interviews with people on the front lines of the system.
