Fattah sighting

Daily News education reporter Mensah Dean reports a brief sighting of one of the Would-Be Mayors today at the School Reform Commission: Chaka Fattah showed up to watch the vote on CEO Paul Vallas’ new contract. (Vallas’ deal was approved – through after sharp rebukes by two SRC members who oppose Vallas, James Gallagher and Daniel Whelan. The vote was 3-2.)

SRC Chairman Jim Nevels introduced Fattah from the stage and called him the “education congressman.”

This afternoon’s forecast, by the way: Sunny, but a high chance of an afternoon press release from Fattah congratulating the SRC on its vote.

What has Fattah done in education besides create a few scholarship programs? By they way, they're great, but isn't there more to educational policy than providing funding to young Philadelphians so they can leave the City, never to return?
