The proposal to cut “special” classes in music, art, library and phys ed continue to rankle a lot of people in the Upper Darby School District.
This morning they plan to have their voices heard. Or at least their tweets.
One man is already on the record opposing the cuts. I had a very interesting phone conversation Friday with a guy who knows a little bit about Upper Darby schools. Joe Batory used to be superintendent.
He’s concerned about what is going on in the district. And he’s raising his voice against it. You can read his guest column here.
He’s not alone. A group of concerned parents and community activists plan to take to the Internet this morning to “chat” about the cuts.
You can follow along starting at 9 a.m. and even join the conversation right here on DelcoTimes.com. We’ll be hosting a live chat by the group. Use thehashtag #heytomcorbett to follow along.
We’ll also be looking at the situation in Upper Darby Wednesday night during our weekly live-stream Internet broadcast, ‘Live From the Newsroom.’
Tune in at 7. If you have a question you’d like to see addressed, email me at editor@delcotimes.com.
A couple of parents that I’ve talked to have already mentioned what happened after the archdiocese announced plans to shut down both Monsignor Bonner and Archbishop Prendergast high schools.
The community came togther, found their voice, and decided to draw a line in the sand. Plus, they raised a ton of money. And they used the Daily Times and DelcoTimes.com every step of the way.
Consider the invitation extended for the newspaper to do the same for the situation in Upper Darby. It’s too important to ignore.
Consider us “all-in.”
Again.
Maybe we can call it “The Miracle in Drexel Hill, The Sequel.”
