Official announcement expected about Ackerman, FDA awaits generic drug hearing

    Good morning, Feeders! We certainly started off with a bang, with news that announcement should come today about Arlene Ackerman leaving the School District of Philadelphia. We’ll  have more details on that, of course, as Ben Herold works with NewsWorks and the Public School Notebook for the latest information.

    Tom MacDonald is catching up with Philadelphia’s new Chief Innovation Officer about what the role entails and what the city can expect innovation-wise. Tom will also have more information on the city’s extended curfew enforcement.

    Aaron Moselle is hoping to catch up with the families of the Iran hikers recently sentenced to eight years in prison. The Montco residents have already been in jail for more than 750 days.

    Peter Crimmins and Carolyn Beeler are talking milk. Raw milk, that is, and the cheese that comes from it. Get more details on NewsWorks Tonight at 6 p.m., plus the dish on that giant paint brush hanging out at Lenfest Plaza.
