Philadelphia School District superintendent Dr. Tony Watlington Sr. has now penned an op-ed outlining the district's safety plan.
Philadelphia's new school superintendent has unveiled the key takeaways from his just-completed 'listening and learning' tour.Philadelphia's pervasive gun violence is seen in the communities where students live, at their rec centers, and near their schools. It impacts students and the people they know.
In September, five teens were shot walking off Roxborough High's football field. 14-year-old Nicolas Elizalde did not survive. "The incidents at Roxborough High and Overbrook just underscored for us - we just need more law enforcement presence," explained Dr. Watlington. "We are aggressively seeking additional resources so we can expand beyond those twelve," added Dr. Watlington.Also, the superintendent will make monthly reports to the Board of Education regarding attendance and dropout data to focus on keeping kids in school.
