Council saying basically "We are rejecting this nom. due to concerns we won't disclose from people we won't disclose (just trust us, it's not the Cncl Pres' charter lobbyist wife) & we're not going to take a public vote on this" is NOT how representative govt is supposed to work!

On an incredibly wild #PHLed day: Council withdraws Joyce Wilkerson's school board nomination, then Mayor Parker asks Wilkerson to serve until she names her replacement, a process for which there is no timeline. Updated story, w/@anna_orso and @sbcmw: inquirer.com/education/joyc…
🚨 New @PhillyInquirer article about Friday’s student takeover of our contract negotiations inquirer.com/jobs/labor/com…
Whoa Wilkerson just stepped out of Council after Johnson withdrew her nomination and read a letter from Parker asking her to CONTINUE serving bc Council hasnt approved anyone for her seat
It’s the last stand for Mayor Parker’s nomination of Joyce Wilkerson to the school board. Pic is of CM Jones, left, trying unsuccessfully to convince Council Prez Johnson not to move to withdraw her nomination Jones says he’s going to force a roll call vote Meeting starting now
Disgusting misuse of power by @CouncilmemberKJ inquirer.com/education/joyc…
Sources say Council will withdraw Joyce Wilkerson's nomination at its 1 p.m. meeting today. Developing #PHLed story, w/@anna_orso: inquirer.com/education/joyc…
These are the facts, and they are undisputed, inquirer.com/education/phil…
Read our statement urging @PHLCouncil to reappoint Joyce Wilkerson to the school board. We believe in her vision for strong public schools that serve all students, and her ability to protect that vision from those who see quality neighborhood schools as limits on their revenue.
BREAKING: Penn Students Against the Occupation, one of the pro-Palestinian student groups leading the encampment on College Green, posted on Instagram that arrests are imminent.
@ResearchPhilly And, whether people want to admit it or not, expansion of that secondary system harms the kids left in the public one.

... one other #phled thought: AFAICT, one thing we really don't know is exactly who is paying Dawn Chavous, who's been leading the charge on the "bias against Black charters" campaign, the heart of the case against Wilkerson, since 2020: whyy.org/articles/phill…
@ResearchPhilly I think we basically saw Parker fend off a challenge from an interest group that really DID want to horn in on power. But who knew what & when is unknown. My guess: the Chavous/charter campaign surprised Parker, but the admin found its feet. A key q: why JW vote was first delayed
I don’t put much stock in test scores, but a metric that’s really important to me is that when a Global Leadership school doesn’t want to deal with a tough student anymore, they expel them and they go to our neighborhood public school, where we will not give up on them.
This quote is from the charter executive who draws a salary higher than the superintendent of the entire district to run a handful of charter schools that routinely fail their students on every available metric.
On an incredibly wild #PHLed day: Council withdraws Joyce Wilkerson's school board nomination, then Mayor Parker asks Wilkerson to serve until she names her replacement, a process for which there is no timeline. Updated story, w/@anna_orso and @sbcmw: inquirer.com/education/joyc…
The utter cowardice of @PHLCouncil members not to say on the record--or anywhere--exactly what their issues w/ Wilkerson are. Truth: they caved to the lobbyists who want to privatize more #PHlEd schools for their own $$ interests. inquirer.com/education/joyc… via @PhillyInquirer

The Mayor stood up for the rights of 197,000 Philadelphia children to a working, functioning, system of public education. And now everyone should get back to work making that happen.
Whoa Wilkerson just stepped out of Council after Johnson withdrew her nomination and read a letter from Parker asking her to CONTINUE serving bc Council hasnt approved anyone for her seat

This is a joke. If you want to shoot down Joyce Wilkerson's nomination, take a vote, don't withdraw it. If charter money is going to flood the city, it can at least do it to our faces
Sources say Council will withdraw Joyce Wilkerson's nomination at its 1 p.m. meeting today. Developing #PHLed story, w/@anna_orso: inquirer.com/education/joyc…
Doing this without even putting your name on it is just so incredibly cowardly

Most of these schools self destructed. Oversight allows us to see the 'smoke before the flames' and suggest inventions. Oversight helps charters. BUT, it does NOT allow for the @PHLschoolboard to actually intervene. That's a charter board's job. inquirer.com/education/phil…
I love spotting AI art in banal government documents. The Liberty 1 clones are my favorite giveaway here
called my rep @marksquilla this morning to urge him to re-appoint Joyce Wilkerson today! hope he listens.
Read our statement urging @PHLCouncil to reappoint Joyce Wilkerson to the school board. We believe in her vision for strong public schools that serve all students, and her ability to protect that vision from those who see quality neighborhood schools as limits on their revenue.
