Temple educator Heidi A. Ramirez confirmed to Philadelphia School Reform Commission

Four months after Gov. Rendell nominated her for a spot on the Philadelphia School Reform Commission, Heidi A. Ramirez yesterday was confirmed by the state Senate.

Ramirez, 33, who directs the Urban Education Collaborative in Temple University’s College of Education, is the first Latina to serve on the five-person board that oversees the district.

“I am more anxious than ever to get started,” said Ramirez, who spent the day in Harrisburg on standby, in case the senators had questions.”*
