Critics Pan Philadelphia Superintendent's "Blueprint."

The Philadelphia Inquirer (1/9, Graham) reports on the mixed reaction that is greeting Philadelphia Superintendent William R. Hite Jr.'s "new blueprint for the Philadelphia School District," reporting, "Under the broad goals of boosting academics and restoring fiscal stability, the plan calls for dozens of action items - from professionalizing the teaching force and focusing on early literacy to improving the graduation rate and providing better services to special-education students. Philadelphia Federation of Teachers president Jerry Jordan is skeptical," calling the plan a "grand vision" that will never be realized.
