At the SRC meeting, Commissioners Green and Jimenez made a point of saying they are required by state law to authorize new charters without taking the fiscal condition of the School District into consideration. David Lapp of the Education Law Center testified at an SRC meeting on February 18, 2015 that this is not true.

On Thursday, August 20th, the Philadelphia School Reform Commission, the appointed body that has been managing the School District since 2001, held a public Action meeting.
