Reporter’s Roundtable: A shamble of a school budget and a scorcher of a bike race

    The Philadelphia School Reform Commission is prepared to open schools in September without music, arts or athletics, and Manayunk will shine on Sunday, when bicyclists sweat their way up the Lyceum Avenue wall — two of the stories we’ve focused on this week on NewsWorks Tonight.

    Host Dave Heller spoke to reporter Tom MacDonald and NewsWorks Roxborough/Manayunk page editor Megan Pinto about the struggling schools and the reborn bike race.
