It’s Our City broadcast its 3rd TV program last night on WHYY-TV.  In case you missed it, we’ve posted the links to the video and to an audio file. The program featured Arlene Ackerman, the Superintendent of the Philadelphia School District an with Lori Shorr, the Chief Education Officer for Mayor Michael Nutter. The two discussed everything from Nutter’s goal to halve the student dropout rate, to why the district has a teacher shortage, and what’s being done to stem school violence.
