No @PhillyMayor we have not forgotten the SRC. The @PHLschoolboard has taken on their role as school privatizers and school closers. But SRC never arrested poeple for standing in the aisle. #PhlEd

There is no excuse for students to be place in toxic and unsafe learning conditions; we deserve environments that make it conducive to learn. -Eleanor Black #phled

[Our City Our Schools @OCOSphl]

Student Speaker Eleanor Black "Only 99 of the school weren't operational in the beginning of the school year, this is a clear example of how we don't not have adequate and safe schools. WE DO NOT FEEL LIKE PRIORITY TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PHILA" #phled

[Kristen Graham @newskag]

Dr. Watlington: inequity in #PHLed student experiences is clear - “I heard from students who told me in some schools there are very few advanced placement courses, there are others that have a plethora of advanced placement courses.” Also, kids' access to Algebra I varies.

[Our City Our Schools @OCOSphl]

Boardmember Thompson "Is there wiggle room in your plan Dr Watlington for school to tailor made their schools learning experience" Watlington: absolutely there is, but we don't want to have a wide variety on the systematic approach"#PHLed

[Lisa Haver (haver-lisa.bsky.social) @Haver_Lisa]

Looks like everyone at @PHLschoolboard is going to make a speech #PhlEd

[Our City Our Schools @OCOSphl]

Board member Wilkerson, "What are the changes and growth that you all have seen from other districts, that you have included in our plan "#PHLed

[Kristen Graham @newskag]

If people don't get a response from #PHLed, what should they do, board asks? Dr. Watlington: e-mail their supervisor. We're going to get better.

[Our City Our Schools @OCOSphl]
