Early data shows hopeful signs for pandemic learning in Philly, but huge questions remain

For the first time this school year, Philadelphia faces the prospect of a widespread shift back to virtual learning. How many schools and for how long? No one quite knows.

Gov. Phil Murphy remains committed to schools being open for in-person instruction only. New York City has taken the same approach. Philadelphia hasn’t.

More than 80 school districts or charter networks have closed or delayed in-person classes for at least one entire school in more than a dozen states.
