Philadelphia City Council hearing focuses on alleged bias against Black-led charter schools

Advocates for Black-led charter schools in Philadelphia say they're not getting fair treatment when it comes to getting and keeping their charters.

The allegation was the subject of a hearing of the City Council's Education Committee on Wednesday afternoon.

"A significant number of the schools that have been closed, over 80% are Black-led institutions, while Black-led institutions make up less than 25% of the actual schools," said Philadelphia City Councilmember At-Large Isaiah Thomas, who is chair of the Education Committee.
