“Of the roughly $104,000
that Excellent Schools PA has raised, $75,000 came from another political
committee called Students First PAC, which is funded almost entirely by the
three wealthy pro-voucher, pro-charter Bala Cynwyd donors who gave $5 million
to Williams' 2010 gubernatorial campaign”
Reprise 2015: Dave Davies
off mic: Philadelphia School Partnership related political committee gives to
Williams' campaign
by Dave Davies for NewsWorks February 9, 2015 — 8:29pm
The Philadelphia School Partnership, the nonprofit that last
week offered the School District $25 million to expand charter schools, now has
an affiliated political action committee that has donated $7,000 to the mayoral
campaign of State Sen. Anthony Williams of Philadelphia. Mark Gleason, executive director of PSP, says his
organization has focused on investing in schools and lobbying for change in
Harrisburg. But it saw a need to affect the political process directly
"because many of the policies that hold back Philadelphia schools and
schools around the commonwealth are state policies." As a nonprofit organization, PSP can't make
political contributions. The new PAC, called Excellent Schools PA, is
technically distinct from PSP, but Gleason signed its registration statement in
September and its officers are closely affiliated with PSP or its lobbying arm,
