School Closure Protesters Disrupt Philadelphia School Reform Commission Meeting

The Philadelphia Inquirer (1/18, Moore) reports on public opposition to plans to close schools in Philadelphia, noting that protesters disrupted the city's School Reform Commission's meeting last Thursday. "Chants of 'save our schools' and 'we will fight' drowned out a career- and technical-education speaker.
