The Philadelphia School District will receive new state funding, but with strings attached that leave some key decisions in the hands of the state secretary of education.The language giving the secretary of education control over the additional funding is a watered down version of language promoted by the Philadelphia School Partnership, which was looking for the state to tie additional funding to very specific conditions in the union contract being negotiated by the school district.
