Chester Upland officials talk about district on 'Live From the Newsroom'

He survived an attempt by Gov. Tom Corbett to remove him from his job, now Joe Watkins is ready to tangle with 'Live From the Newsroom.'

We'll have the embattled receiver of the Chester Upland School District as our guest Wednesday night, along with CU Superintendent Gregory Shannon.

Watkins was targeted in a surprise move by acting state Education Secretary Carolyn Dumaresq, who filed a petition in Delaware County Court to have Watkins ousted. But Delco Judge Chad Kenney decided Watkins deserves more time to turn things around in the seemingly forever troubled school district.

We'll talk about the reasons why Watkins may have been targeted, why he believes it was the wrong move, and the things he's done to reverse course in Chester Upland.

Shannon will be on hand to talk about the current state of affairs in Chester Upland, and where the district goes from here. Do you have a question you'd like to ask either Watkins or Shannon? Email it to me at editor@delcotimes.com, and I will ask them tomorrow night.

Then tune in to DelcoTimes.com at 7 Wednesay night as we go live with Joe Watkins and Gregory Shannon. Join the conversation!
