Why 16 Pittsburgh Public Schools Might Close

from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast

Pittsburgh Public Schools released a penny-pinching plan that could drastically change our public school system. From building closures and consolidations to separating kids by age groups and changing magnet programs, the recommendations are sweeping and there’s not much time for stakeholders to weigh in. We’re with PublicSource’s Lajja Mistry and WESA’s Jillian Forstadt to explain what we know so far and how you can get involved. Read their great reporting series PPS’ Path Forward and share your questions and concerns with Lajja and Jillian here.
