Kudos to @emilybouckwest, @HigherLearnADV @jrpeller for drafting and shepherding this bill. Serving on the taskforce was both a duty to #workinglearners and a pleasure, as I learned much from @BillDeBaun @andymcarlson @ViniceinED @davidacroom @SteveTaylorEdu and many others.

(1 of 2) One of the (many) things I love about Philadelphia is the diversity of people, culture and language. I've come to appreciate and respect the awareness of neighborhood-ness, and neighborhood boundaries. So this project, following bus route 47 caught my eye. To give ...
