With Philly’s revised virtual learning plan, advocates call for expanding internet access

This week, more than 100 district schools were virtual because of staffing shortages during the omicron surge. Next week, just eight are on the list.

School District of Philadelphia students will still be expected to log on for a full day of virtual learning on Friday.

About a third of Philadelphia’s public schools started the new year virtually, a last-minute shift that caught some parents by surprise.
