Attention Upper Darby residents. We delivered the bad news, and we’ve been following the fallout.
Of course, we’re talking about the brutal cuts being considered by the Upper Darby School District.
In particularly egregious, according to parents, is the proposal to eliminate “special” classes in music, arts, library and physical education. Instead those curriculums will be handled as part of the regular classroom instruction. Along the way, more than 50 teaching positions are going to be jettisoned. There also will be a major shakeup among the administration.
Now we’re offering you a chance to get involved. Tonight we will focus on the situation in Upper Darby on our ‘Live From the Newsroom’ live-stream Internet broadcast. We go live from 7-7:30.
We’ll be joined by several concerned parents, as well as state Rep. Nick Micozzie, R-163, who has battled for years for a better way of funding education in this state.
What I want to know is how you feel about this topic. And if you don’t live in the Upper Darby School District, don’t worry. This issue affects you as well.
With another round of state funding cuts in place, all districts are struggling to make ends meet and will be facing similar tough decisions.
