Our member Katy told the school district not to seek community input to justify school closures. She taught at Huey before it was closed in 2013 and turned into a charter -- it was devestating. #PHLed

Facilities Planning Process: Facts, timelines and community concerns
The district is moving to rightsize its building stock. Some Philadelphians are concerned about whether their voices will be taken into account.
