IMPORTANT CALL TO ACTION:

We have been discussing the issue regarding the potential phase out of Local Diplomas in our SEPTA meetings.

I will be asking Mr. Ehmann to advocate for us against the  phase out of Local Diploma's

I am asking you all email me a letter to submit to Mr. Ehmann voicing your concern by Monday, November 9th.

SEPTA Board Member Denise McMahon has written a letter (click here to read) for submission to Ed Ehmann regarding this issue.  She has made this available to you all to use as a guideline for your letter.

Please email me your letter to: scsdseptapres@optonline.net
with "Local Diploma" in the subject line.
