Colleagues, During my few months as a member of the School Reform Commission, I  have been fortunate to receive regular feedback from many of you not   only on key policies and priorities, but also on how the District and SRC   might   better engage the community in our school improvement efforts. I can't  tell you how much I appreciate all of your insights, enthusiasm, and   patience as we take on the important work of improving teaching and   learning and better serving all of Philadelphia's children. Thank you  so   much for this. Among suggestions I have heard was the request that the SRC make  public meetings more accessible by having them in the evening. As you  know, when the Commission voted on this year's calendar we agreed to two   such meetings. Those meetings, scheduled for November and April, have  been posted and shared at the last few SRC meetings, but I want to be   sure   that you have this information and time to share it with your   constituents. Please see the attached schedule and distribute as you deem appropriate. Again, thank you for your continued support of our students and  schools. Best, Heidi
