SCHOOL REFORM Commission member Lorene Cary will take a temporary medical leave from her position, the city announced Thursday.
In a letter Cary wrote to Mayor Nutter and to SRC Chairman Pedro Ramos, she said she was following her doctors' orders to rest and recover "so as not to turn temporary illness into chronic incapacity."
Cary, 55, who authored the novel The Price of a Child and runs the Art Sanctuary in North Philadelphia, joined the SRC after being nominated to the board by Nutter in October.
