💼💡 Is Philly's revitalization costing its schools? 🏫 Explore the intricacies of tax breaks and education funding with host Trenae Nuri from @citycastphilly and special guest Emily Rizzo from @ChalkbeatPHL here: philly.citycast.fm/podcasts/this-…
Some 23 states have passed legislation to try to stabilize funding for school-based health centers by dedicating state dollars to the centers in their budgets every year. But Pennsylvania is not one of them. chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…
In 2010, Philly took a bunch of struggling district schools and handed them over to charter organizations who swore they could do better. Our investigation has revealed those dramatic turnaround promises never materialized chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…
Philly's Renaissance charter school initiative was one of the most controversial education policy shifts ever undertaken in the city. But we found the dramatic turnarounds that were promised in 2010 never materialized. #PHLed chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…
Keystone Opportunity Zones cost Philly schools $7.7 million in 2022 -- enough to fund librarians in 61 schools. Voluntary payments to offset that loss only added up to $1.2 million in 2023. Story from @ChalkbeatPHL and @EmilyKRizzo for @PHLJournoCollab
Philly public schools are losing up to $7.7M a year to KOZ tax breaks. That's enough to hire 61 fulltime librarians in a district with just ONE FT librarian. For @ChalkbeatPHL and @PHLJournoCollab, @EmilyKRizzo digs into how KOZ's affect Philly schools chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…
Just how much are Philly schools getting in return for a big tax break for developers? #PHLEd chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…

Indeed, in 2023 the Renaissance charter schools as a group mostly performed worse in standardized tests for elementary and middle schoolers than the district averages...And compared to district schools, a lower share of Renaissance charters exceeded those averages. @ChalkbeatPHL

City Avenue is a psyop where Philadelphia and Lower Merion have united to torture residents with the world’s worst parking lots
Asbestos closed their Philadelphia high school while they were working hard on a production of Philly native Quiara Alegría Hudes and @Lin_Manuel's "In the Heights." But these students learned — and demonstrated — why the show must go on. #PHLed philadelphia.chalkbeat.org/2023/5/1/23706…

More than two years into a global health crisis, our nation’s schools — teachers, staff, and the students and families they serve — are still dealing with challenges. @Chalkbeat journalists have documented the difficulties school communities have faced and are still facing.
The school district told @ChalkbeatPHL that it does not plan to extend remote learning after Friday’s virtual day. #omicron #PHLed philadelphia.chalkbeat.org/2022/1/6/22871…

For many of Olga Rosario's students, this year is their first school experience. Here's how the dual-language kindergarten teacher is meeting the moment. (via @johanncalhoun) #PHLed #EduColor #EdChat #earlychildhood philadelphia.chalkbeat.org/2021/12/7/2278…
"We don’t have time to wait until the report card conference to have conversations." Read more about why advocates say parental involvement crucial for Philly’s early learners: bit.ly/3dqJC7S
With remote learning, many parents took on the role of part-time teacher to their children. Now, with most students attending full-time in-person school — some for the first time — some child advocates in Philadelphia say that parental support is more important than ever.
Child care staffing shortages across Pennsylvania — and the country — are persisting. But solutions are also taking shape. Read more from @dalemezz. ⬇️ philadelphia.chalkbeat.org/2021/12/7/2280…
While staffing has always been an issue in the child care industry due to persistently low pay and often stressful working conditions, shortages have never been as bad as they are now. During the pandemic, 255 of just over 1,000 total centers in Pennsylvania permanently closed.
Researchers have found that high-quality preschool can make a long-term difference in children’s lives, leading to higher educational attainment, increased earnings, and better health. Here's how it could happen in Pennsylvania. (via @annschimke) ⬇️ philadelphia.chalkbeat.org/2021/12/7/2280…
