Description

Superintendent Dr. Tony Watlington isn’t interested in getting credit. He’s just looking forward to bringing back a program that was widely successful and heralded nationally under one of his predecessors. 


On the latest edition of the "After School" podcast, Watlington details the reboot of “Parent and Family University,” a program geared towards helping the School District of Philadelphia better support families, so that families can, in turn, better support students.


Watlington also shares new information about the district’s timeline for making recommendations about the improvement, consolidation, or closure of select school buildings.
