Sign up for Chalkbeat Philadelphia’s free newsletter to keep up with news on the city’s public school system. Protestors rallied outside of the Philadelphia school district’s main office in the bitter cold Thursday afternoon, calling on members of the Board of Education to put a stop to the district’s proposal to close 20 schools in the coming years. The plan, which district officials announced last week, would impact 1 in 3 district schools and result in nearly 5,000 students affected by school closures beginning in 2027. Students would be moved out of deteriorating old buildings to fill empty seats in many underenrolled schools. But it would also relocate hundreds of students to lower performing schools and close schools in neighborhoods the district’s own data shows are vulnerable because of social factors and past school closures. Superintendent Tony Watlington has said closing schools and shuffling enrollment would lead to more opportunities for all students. But inside the school district’s main building, board members — who have final say on the closures — gave no indication on how they will respond to the district’s sweeping proposal. They said they would share those thoughts at their board meeting on Feb. 28, when district leaders plan to formally present the plan. Board president Reginald Streater said it would be “inappropriate” for him to speak about the plan’s merits ahead of the presentation. But he thanked Superintendent Tony Watlington for creating a plan for the district’s aging facilities. Streater said the board will review the proposal during its February meeting but not vote on it. School leaders, teachers, and parents urged the board to prevent closures and to come up with a better plan that keeps schools open. During a spirited public comment session, several said the proposal would destroy tight-knit school communities and leave students with longer commutes and more crowded classrooms. Some worried the data the district used to make its decision was flawed. And others said they feared the plan reflected a disinvestment in schools where the majority of students are Black and brown. More than a dozen students and staff from Lankenau High School rallied in front of the district’s main building ahead of the meeting. “Our voice should be heard,” said Krysten Fanis, a sophomore at Lankenau Environmental Science High School, which the district wants to close and turn into an honors program at Roxborough High School. “How they’re trying to recommend to shut down our school is not OK.” Board members encourage people to weigh in The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that district leaders have already said they may shift parts of the plan before they formally present it to the board at next month’s board meeting. That may be a response to the swift pushback. Some City Council members have called for specific changes. And many teachers, students, and families have said they will fight for their schools to stay open. Streater and other board members encouraged teachers, students, and families to attend the community engagement sessions the district plans to host in the coming weeks at each school it proposes closing. Two board members said they would make an effort to attend the meetings. Board Vice President Sarah Ashley-Andrews stressed the importance of community input at the meetings. “We want to hear your voice, your comments and concerns,” she said. Several educators and community members connected to Conwell Middle School, which the district wants to close, held signs during the meeting urging school leaders to keep the school open. Longtime Conwell Principal Erica Green stressed the school’s history, tight alumni network, and recent investments, some of which were funded by settlement money from lawsuits against opioid manufacturers. “Do not let the almighty dollar drive a choice to remove a beautifully designated historic school and beautifully gifted young people,” Green said. Representatives of other schools said that the whole district will be impacted by the proposed closures. “This is a collective effort,” said Paul Brown, a psychologist at Roxborough High School who attended the protest. “Rather than singling out individual schools to fend for themselves, we should be all working together to ensure every student can go to their neighborhood school instead of traveling across the city.” Board members also appointed two non-voting student board representatives: Brianni Carter, an 11th grader at Philadelphia High School for Girls; Ramisha Karim, an 11th grader at Northeast High School; and Semira Reyes, an 11th grader at The Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts. Carter and Karim said they aimed to attend the community engagement meetings to hear what their peers and adults are saying. Board members also voted to approve several contracts and grants, including: $15 million for mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, and electrical engineering design services. $3.7 million for purchasing facilities supplies, tools, and building materials $610,000 to replace the fire alarm system at James G. Blaine School. An agreement with the Community College of Philadelphia to use space at Ben Franklin High School. Three of nine board members were absent from the meeting, and four called in remotely.

(The Center Square) – The Colorado Senate Health and Human Services Committee has approved a new bill regarding vaccine policy. After public comments were taken, the committee advanced the bill Thursday on a 6-3 vote. It now goes to the full Senate for debate. Senate Bill 32 is from state Sens. Lindsey Daugherty and Kyle Mullica, both Democrats. During the committee hearing, Daugherty said this is about saving lives. “For decades, our state’s immunization system has relied on stable federal guidance,” said Daugherty. “However, recent shifts have created confusion and uncertainty for both Coloradans and the dedicated health care professionals who administer vaccines.” The bill comes after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has been making changes to vaccine policies. For example, HHS said on Jan. 5 that a change in the childhood immunization schedule “allows for more flexibility and choice, with less coercion.” Calling this a disruption that threatens vaccine access, Daugherty also said it “creates the risk of inconsistency across providers,” while also weakening public confidence in a system designed to protect people. As a result, Daugherty called SB 32 a necessary solution. “It modernizes Colorado law to safeguard access to safe evidence-based vaccines, strengthens our immunization workforce, and ensures consistent guidance across all care settings,” said Daugherty. “It achieves this by allowing Colorado to explicitly rely on the trusted evidence-based guidelines from leading medical organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians, and the American College of OBGYNs.” If approved by the Legislature and signed into law, the bill would allow the departments of Public Health and Environment and Health Care Policy and Financing to continue purchasing, recommending, and conducting outreach for vaccines based on “established science, even if federal guidance is in flux.” At the end of her opening remarks, Daugherty stressed what the bill does not do. “It does not add any new vaccine mandates and fully maintains all existing medical and non-medical exemption policies,” said Daugherty. “In this uncertain national landscape, this bill is a necessary step to protect Coloradans’ vaccine access, and I am proud to bring it.” Sen. Mullica agreed. “We’ve seen the dysfunction that is coming out of Washington. We’ve seen the fact that they are arbitrarily changing schedules, arbitrarily changing policies that are impacting our states and are impacting our ability to protect the people of our state and take away the ability for the people of CO to have access to vaccines,” said Mulllica. “We have to make sure that in this state we rely on science, that we protect the people of Colorado and that people in this state continue to have access to those vaccines.” Not everyone in the hearing was supportive of the bill. During public comments, a woman identifying herself as a wife, mother and teacher told the committee that it is “trying to force insurance to cover more vaccines,” at the same time that she cannot get insurance to cover treatment for her "vaccine-injured children.” Another woman identifying herself as a private citizen and parent from Greeley, Colorado, praised HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying he “aligned us with safer evidence-based approaches like Denmark’s, where children thrive with fewer shots and lower overload on their developing immune systems.”

(The Center Square) – A King County jury on Thursday found the city of Seattle negligent in its handling of the 2020 Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, or CHOP, zone, awarding nearly $31 million to the family of 16-year-old Antonio Mays Jr., who was fatally shot during the protests. Mays was shot by an unknown person(s) on June 29, 2023, in the chaotic, barricaded zone that was set up in Seattle in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin the previous month. No suspects have been officially identified or arrested for May's murder. A wrongful death lawsuit was filed by his father, alleging that the area was abandoned by police and that first responders were delayed in providing aid, causing him to bleed out. The Center Square reached out to the Seattle City Attorney’s Office, asking if the city planned to appeal the verdict. “Antonio Mays Jr.’s death was a tragedy,” a City Attorney's Office spokesperson emailed The Center Square. “We will assess the city's options going forward.” This is a developing story.

حدثان لم يفصل بينهما سوى ساعات: الأول، كان وقوف الولايات المتحدة، يوم 20 تشرين الثاني الجاري، أمام 14 دولة تمثل «شرعة» هذا العالم في «مجلس الأمن»، لتقول لا لمشروع قرار يقضي بوقف فوري وغير مشروط لإطلاق النار في قطاع غزة؛ أما الثاني، فتمثل في التوصيف الذي استخدمه الرئيس الأميركي، جو بايدن، للتعليق على مذكرتَي التوقيف اللتين أصدرتهما «المحكمة الجنائية الدولية» بحق كل من رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي بنيامين نتنياهو ووزير دفاعه السابق يوآف غالانت. إذ وصف بايدن، المذكرتين، في بيانه أصدره بعد ساعتين فقط من صدورهما، بـ«الأمر الشائن»، رغم أن الأمر نفسه لم يعتبره «شائناً» عام 2009 عندما أصدرت المحكمة عينها مذكرة توقيف بحق الرئيس السوداني السابق عمر البشير بالتهمة نفسها، ولا كان كذلك عام 2023 عندما صدرت مذكرة توقيف بحق الرئيس الروسي فلاديمير بوتين، في السياق ذاته.ولعلّ المشهد المرتسم على ضفاف الحدثين كفيل برسم خريطة «العزلة» الأميركية، في وقت بدا فيه المشهد المشار إليه هو «الأصعب» مقارنةً بما مر على الولايات المتحدة منذ بروزها كقطب عالمي أوحد عام 1991. إذ لم يكن الحدثان، رغم أن مضامينهما ت

يبدو أن منصّة «إكس»، المملوكة لرجل الأعمال الكندي ـــ الأميركي إيلون ماسك، تشدد أخيراً رقابتها على المحتوى المناصر لفلسطين. بعدما حظرت حساب المرشد الإيراني علي خامنئي على إثر نشره تعليقات باللغة العبريّة، فرضت المنصّة أخيراً حظراً جديداً على حساب الصحافي الفلسطيني يونس الطيراوي. إذ لم يعد بإمكان مستخدمي «إكس» متابعة حساب الطيراوي على المنصّة. وعقب هذا الإجراء، غرّد الصحافي البريطاني ــ الأميركي مهدي حسن على المنصّة مخاطباً ماسك، ومتسائلاً: «لماذا لا أستطيع أنا وعدد من الآخرين متابعة الصحافي يونس الطيراوي؟ لا يمكن أن يكون ذلك بسبب رقابتكم نيابةً عن إسرائيل، التي كشف الطيراوي جرائمها عبر مقاطع الفيديو التي نشرها على مدار الأشهر الثلاثة عشر الماضية، أليس كذلك؟».

قررت شركة تصنيع الأغذية الإسرائيلية «مجموعة ستراوس» بيع حصتها البالغة 50 في المئة من منتجات «صبرا أوبيلا»، صانعة صلصة الحمص والمربى الموزّعة في جميع أنحاء الولايات المتحدة، إلى شريكتها القديمة شركة «بيبسيكو». يأتي هذا القرار بعدما كافحت الشركة على مدار عام كامل لاستعادة حصتها السوقية التي كانت مهيمنة قبل السابع من تشرين الأوّل (أكتوبر) 2023، بعدما تراجعت بسبب حملات المقاطعة التي شُنّت ضدها لكونها شركة إسرائيلية. وتحقق حملات المقاطعة حول العالم نتائج ملحوظة، إذ أعلن مقهى «ستاربكس»، المعروف بدعمه للكيان الصهيوني، عن إغلاقه خمسين فرعاً له في ماليزيا، بعدما تكبّد خسائر فادحة نتيجة مقاطعة الشعب الماليزي.
