Let's hope 'terms and conditions' are transparent!

Among the legislative items featured in a recent edition of the Education and Policy Leadership Center's Notebook was a summary of Section 2502.46, which "requires the Philadelphia School District to submit annual reports to PDE on the use of state funding for partnership schools. The reports will include information on the number of students attending each partnership school, the total dollar amount to be paid to each school by the District and the specific terms and conditions agreed to for such payments, and the total costs actually paid by the District to each partnership school. Additionally, the law requires the District to provide an explanation if a difference exists between the costs actually paid and costs agreed to for each partnership school as well as an accounting of where the unexpended dollars were utilized."
