Five candidates were from Philadelphia, officials said, but job seekers were promised confidentiality unless they agreed to go public.

Both Martinez and Hite met parents, teachers, students, elected officials, and others in a daylong series of meetings. They faced questions on everything from charter schools to student safety.

Hite, 51, has a classroom background - he's been a teacher, principal, and central office staffer in Virginia, Georgia, and, most recently, Maryland. He's credited with bringing stability to a politically tough district of about 135,000 students.

Martinez, 42, was trained as an accountant but has worked as chief financial officer of the Chicago public school system and most recently overseen academics in Washoe County (Reno), Nev., and Las Vegas. Martinez helped boost graduation rates in both Nevada districts and closed big deficits in Chicago.

Philadelphia's ailing school system has been led since January by Thomas Knudsen, who was appointed to the temporary position of chief recovery officer by the SRC. Knudsen was tapped to help the district through an atrocious financial situation - it cut about $700 million in the 2011-12 school year and must borrow at least $218 million in 2012-13 to operate - and to entirely restructure its operations.

Knudsen's contract expires in late July.

Former Superintendent Arlene C. Ackerman left Philadelphia on bad terms last summer after collecting a $905,000 buyout, and the good-government group Committee of Seventy this week urged the SRC to avoid some of the mistakes the district made with Ackerman, and to make "broad parameters" of a new superintendent contract public before it is signed.

Pritchett, in response, said the SRC planned "to make this process as transparent as possible and will be releasing further information regarding the contract process in the near future."

Rave Mobile Safety also urges citizens to join Smart911, a public/private partnership endorsed nationwide by leading public safety and health officials. This rapidly growing service is now helping emergency responders across 22 states protect millions of citizens. Smart911 allows citizens to create a Safety Profile online at http://www.smart911.com that is automatically displayed to 9-1-1 during emergency calls.This can include home addresses associated with mobile phone numbers, medical conditions and disabilities, photos of family members, floor-plans and other rescue-related data.

This information enables emergency responders to have a comprehensive understanding of the scene before they arrive. EMS will know about medical conditions, allergies and disabilities, facilitating precise life-saving treatment. Fire crews will know not only how many residents are at a home, but locations of bedrooms, residents with special needs and even if there are pets on-premise. Police will have instant access to a child's personal information and a photograph if a child goes missing.

To see if Smart911 is in your community, please check the website. Even if it has not yet been deployed, it likely will be soon, and a destination you're visiting on July 4 may already be protected by Smart911.
