The Philadelphia School Reform Commission voted last week to create a top-level regional superintendent position to oversee and work with the district's 63 public charter schools. There are now 10 regional superintendents, who meet with district Superintendent Ackerman each week. "I think the intent of creating the office of charter schools as a 'region' was to elevate it to the position where it would clearly have the direct and consistent attention of Dr. Ackerman," Sandra Dungee Glenn, commission chairwoman, said. "It clarifies . . . the importance of charter schools as a part of our system of public schools."
