Pennsylvania Moves to Put Education Policy in Laymen Hands
The Pennsylvania Senate approved a 17 member state Board of Education with full policy making powers, stripping the Public Instruction Department and its head Dr. Charles H. Boehm of these duties. Boehm would be executive officer without voting power, private college representation was dropped, and two subordinate councils would oversee basic and higher education with members also on the state board. Critics called it a troika and lacking bipartisan final responsibility. The session also sent nearly 100 bills to the floor as committees push toward adjournment.

No confirmation from official channels, but speculation cites a shot before the June 24 international women’s congress, with the candidate described as unmarried in her early 20s and notably strong in tests. A record 64 Earth orbits last summer by Andrian Nikolayev is noted as context. The report mentions timing and candidate details but remains unverified.
