The Subcommittee interviewed nearly 250 witnesses and conducted seven public hearings between January and September 2000. The first two public hearings concentrated on testimony from students and teachers who were assaulted by violent or harassed by disruptive students. Testimony was also heard from principals; school district employees; the State Attorney General, Michael Fisher; representatives of the Juvenile Justice System; the Department of Probation; and the Philadelphia City Council members. A final report was submitted to the House of Representative in November 2000.
