Philly schools no longer distressed, top officials say: Harrisburg signs off on SRC dissolution

"After an extensive review, the Department of Education has determined that the district has made financial and academic improvements during the tenure of the SRC and the district no longer exhibits the factors that caused it to be placed in distress," Pennsylvania Education Secretary Pedro A. Rivera said of Philadelphia schools.

The SRC voted to dissolve itself at a Nov. meeting. A state education official has given the OK for the state-run panel to disappear June 30.
