The controversy surrounding budget cuts in the Upper Darby School District is not going away.
Neither are we.
Parents held a strategy session last night to plot out their next moves in the battle to halt curriculum changes that would eliminate special classes at the elementary level in music and art, and language and technology in the middle schools. You can read that full story here.
They plan to make their presence known Wednesday night at the Upper Darby Township council meeting.
The public hearing on the school budget is set for May 23. They're also planning a bus trip to Harrisburg on June 6.
We'll be devoting our 'Live From the Newsroom' live-stream Internet broadcast to the issue again this week.
Last week's Live from the Newsroom brought together the Upper Darby school officials tasked with figuring out the budget crisis. More than 250 people tuned in to the show, one of the biggest audiences we've had since we tackled the situation involving Monsignor Bonner and Archbishop Prendergast.
We'll be joined by state Sen. Ted Erickson, R-26, of Newtown, whose district covers Upper Darby, Larry Feinberg of the Keystone State Education Coalition and a member of the Haverford School board; and Joe Batory, a former Superintendent of Upper Darby who has been critical of the current cuts.
Once again, if you have a question you'd like answered, feel free to email it to me at editor@delcotimes.com. You also can log on to DelcoTimes.com Wednesday night and take part in our live chat.
We go live at 7. See you on the Internet.
