Recently, Philadelphia students started a new school year.
And, just as the 2017-2018 school year began, on August 28, Mayor Kenney resumed his monthly meetings with School District of Philadelphia principals.
Every month since he’s been in office, the Mayor meets with principals to keep dialogue open and candid, to hear concerns, and to develop solutions together.
The meetings are productive, too, with ideas leading to programs that further support Philadelphia’s students, families, and school communities.
During this meeting, local principals discussed topics like traffic concerns, the need for book donations, and community engagement.
Ideas on ways to further support and help the students of Philadelphia frequently arise in these meetings. One such idea that came up, that then was later implemented, was the Administration’s plan to put social workers in city schools.
