District responds to commissioners questions on school closings

Just hours before tonight’s long-awaited vote on the proposed closure of nine schools, the District has released awealth of information about each of its recommendations.
A detailed spreadsheet projects that closing all nine schools would save the District just over $8 million for next school year. The two most hotly contested closures, E.M. Stanton Elementary in South Philadelphia and Sheppard Elementary in West Kensington, would save the District a projected $850,000 and $1.2 million, respectively.
