ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The school year is getting underway, and here in Pennsylvania, the new state budget provides for a lot of improvements to schools: adequacy funding for underfunded districts, more student teacher stipends, support for mental health, guaranteed recess, and more. Racquel Williams talks with two education advocates - Laura Boyce with Teach Plus PA (www.teachplus.org/pa) and Priyanka Reyes-Kaura with Children First (www./childrenfirstpa.org) - about what’s in this year’s budget and how our schools are doing overall as students and teachers return to the classroom.
Then, Shara Dae Howard meets a true Philadelphia hero - the woman everyone is talking about who saw a masked man harassing people in Center City, and kicked him in the chest. We find out what was going through her head in that moment on Shara in the City.
