House. Legislative Commission on Restructuring Pennsylvania's Urban Schools
biographical statement
In 1997, House Resolution 133 created a Legislative Commission to Study Restructuring Pennsylvania’s Urban Schools as a result of many Pennsylvanians believe that urban schools were failing to provide an efficient and effective education for students and that urban schools were too large, too bureaucratic and may be obstacles to educational excellence.
The Commission was made up of seventeen members, but only six were Representatives: Pat Browne, John Taylor, George Kenney, William Robinson, Michael Sturla, and Anthony Williams.
