Daily News | Philly’s school board is poised to sign off on district’s five-year roadmap
Philadelphia’s school board was expected to sign off on Tony B. Watlington Sr.’s long-term vision Thursday night, endorsing a five-year plan the superintendent pitched as the way to move city schools forward.
And, Salley said, “what this plan represents to me really is beginning to think about how to hoist the train back up on the track.”, addressing concerns around a lack of specific actions around multilingual students and other diverse learners. Among the fixes: Watlington specified that the two-way communications system the district hopes to purchase “will have multilingual capabilities” and said teachers will get more support around culturally and linguistically relevant instructional practices.
Regardless of the bottom line, Watlington pledged the district would stay within its budget, suggesting that parts of the plan would end up getting jettisoned if more funds are not made available. The school system lacks the ability to raise its own tax revenue; it’s alone in Pennsylvania in that regard. Based on current state and local funding, it’s projecting a budget deficit by 2028.
