School District of Philadelphia updates $2.8B plan, spares 2 schools from closure

More than a thousand people crowded into the School District of Philadelphia's auditorium and overflow space Thursday night as the Philadelphia Board of Education reviewed an updated facilities proposal that would close 18 schools. It's a reduction from the 20 originally slated for shutdown. The district's superintendent said the plan is designed to strengthen the school system, but many parents, students and educators urged board members to reconsider. Chants of "save our schools" echoed before the meeting at an outside protest. During the meeting, there was a public comment timeframe where parents, teachers and students argued that their communities would be harmed by the closures. The restructuring plan is part of a $2.8 billion proposal that would also modernize school buildings across the city. #education #philadelphia #fyp https://6abc.com/post/philadelphia-bo...
