Title
Authorizing City Officials to File Articles of Incorporation to establish a Non-Profit Corporation that shall be called The Philadelphia School Teacher's Reimbursement Fund, Inc., for the purpose of reimbursing personal money spent by teachers of the Philadelphia School District for the purchase of supplies, materials, and equipment needed for their classrooms.
Body
WHEREAS, Due to the Philadelphia School District's continuing structural deficits, many schools in Philadelphia lack basic school supplies and materials for their students; and
WHEREAS, The City of Philadelphia recognizes that some Philadelphia teachers are spending significant amounts of personal income to provide teaching materials such as books, art supplies, and electronics that are lacking in their classrooms; and
WHEREAS, Until the Philadelphia School District achieves long-term fiscal health along with effective management of its operations, a funding source dedicated solely for reimbursing teachers to purchase school supplies and teaching materials is necessary in the City of Philadelphia; now, therefore
SECTION 1. The Mayor and the President of City Council are hereby authorized to file, as incorporators, articles of incorporation for The Philadelphia School Teacher's Reimbursement Fund, Inc., with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Articles of Incorporation shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit "A," attached hereto, with such changes as the City Solicitor deems necessary or desirable.
SECTION 2. The Chief Clerk of City Council shall keep Exhibit "A" to this ordinance on file and make it available to the Public for inspection and copying during regular office hours.
SECTION 3. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect on July 1, 2020.
