Back to School with Dr. Tony Watlington, Superintendent, School District of Philadelphia
This September, we kick-off a new school year. And, we welcome a new Superintendent.
This September signals the start of something new for Philadelphia’s students, teachers, and families.
And, this September marks the return of PEF’s long-standing monthly conversation series, Education First Compact.
Please join us in the J M Kirby Auditorium at the National Constitution Center on September 1st for our own stop on Dr. Watlington’s listening tour!
