“Temple University educator Heidi A. Ramirez stands to become the Philadelphia School Reform Commission’s youngest member at 33, its first Latina and what Gov. Rendell calls “its most qualified” in terms of education background.

Rendell at a press conference in Philadelphia this morning said he would recommend that Ramirez, a center city resident who specializes in urban education, become the commission’s fifth member.

Her appointment is subject to confirmation by the state Senate, which could take until the end of January to act, although Rendell said he hopes it will happen sooner. She will replace James Nevels, who resigned in September, and will become Rendell’s second appointment to the commission.”*
