3.10.15: Philadelphia – (Politics): On Monday, March 16th, 2015, The Philadelphia Federation of Teachers will formally endorse former Philadelphia City Councilman, Mr. Jim Kenney, in his campaign to become Mayor.
Mr. Kenney, though he’s admitted to not having the proverbial Big Bang Theory to solve the conundrums facing the School District of Philadelphia, has embraced the concept of full-service community schools, which no doubt contributed to him winning the approval of the 12,000 member strong union, who will directly benefit from having community organizations, nonprofits, and universities, among others, collaborate to transform schools into the center of community life.
