Parent+Forum

On Tuesday, December 9th at 6:00 p.m. at the Kingsessing Recreation Center in Southwest Philadelphia, we will be holding a Community Forum on issues of teacher quality and equity. This open forum will feature Dr. Heidi Ramirez of the School Reform Commission, as well as representatives of the School District of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers. The goal of the forum is to hear about current practices of teacher hiring, distribution, training, and retention, and to explore questions and suggestions from parents, students and other community members to inform district policy as well as contact negotiations. *The bulk of the meeting will be devoted to open questions and discussion from the community. * Co-sponsored by PSU, Healthy Family, Healthy Life, Inc., Vernard Johnson, Walnut Hill Community Association, Southwest Action Collaborative. In conjunction with the School District of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers.
