Parents, students slam School District of Philadelphia's facilities plan at final town hall

Parents, students and lawmakers voiced strong opposition Thursday during the School District of Philadelphia's final public town hall on its proposed facilities master plan, urging the school board to halt planned school closures.

Around 100 people spoke during the hours-long meeting, challenging district leaders over a proposal that would close 18 schools in phases beginning in 2027, down from 20 originally recommended.
