The opinion

Concurring Opinion by

Judge Kramer :

I concur in the result only. Although I agree with the opinion of the majority that “the Commonwealth” is too general a term to describe an indispensable party for the purposes of this case, I want to malee it clear that I believe the ultimate responsibility for providing the constitutional mandate to establish and maintain a “thorough and efficient system of public education” rests squarely on the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, and not solely on this or any other school district. Although the General Assembly may delegate its duties, it may not absolve itself from the responsibility to fully perform a clear constitutional mandate, when its agent (i.e., school district) fails or is unable to perform.
