Significant Decision Impacting Charter Schools plus Award Recognition for Latsha Davis & McKenna, P.C.
Latsha Davis & McKenna, P.C. is pleased to announce that on February 16, 2016, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania issued a significant decision positively impacting charter schools. In West Philadelphia Achievement Charter Elementary School (WPACES) v. School District of Philadelphia (District) and School Reform Commission (SRC), Case No. 31 EM 2014, our firm, on behalf of Amicus Curiae parties, the Pennsylvania Coalition of Public Charter Schools and MaST Community Charter School, submitted a Brief in Support of WPACES. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court held that Section 696(i)(3) of the School Code is unconstitutional as it violates the non-delegation rule of Article II, Section 1. Accordingly, the SRC's and School District's actions taken pursuant to that provision are null and void and the District and SRC are permanently enjoined from taking further action under the authority it confers.
