Penn Teachers Problems Also Are Considered by Commission
A Harrisburg report by David Abramson describes proposed powers for a state commission to investigate teacher intimidation and political influence in schools. The 1935 legislature would empower referees to discipline schools and handle grievances, with a council overseeing disciplinary actions and dismissing improper practices. The plan would centralize review beyond local school systems and avoid court routes, though critics question costs and feasibility.
