School budget vote

Volatile feelings and earnest questions are likely to come forth this morning as the Philadelphia School Reform Commission considers adopting it's $2 billion-plus spending plan. The Inquirer's Susan Snyder details how concerned parents and activists met with Mayor Street last night to hammer out an action plan for opposing the drastic cuts. "We want to force public disclosure of the true impact," said Harry Levant, a parent association president. One fed-up Northeast family is moving out, saying the schools' budget mess is a big factor.

We'll have live reports and photos from the hearings throughout the morning.
