After Layoffs, Mayor Nutter Tries To Raise Money For School District In Harrisburg
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- On the day after the Philadelphia School District handed out thousands of layoff notices, Mayor Michael Nutter spent Tuesday pounding the pavement in Harrisburg, trying in part to drum up more money for the financially strapped school district.
The mayor would not specify who he was meeting with, but his press secretary says the mayor believes the trip was “helpful.” Still, the administration has no expectation of whether lawmakers in the Pennsylvania capital might be willing to provide more money to help the Philadelphia schools close a $629 million budget gap.
Meanwhile, the reality of 3,000 job cuts began sinking in for parents and students across the district on Tuesday while some called for a change of leadership.
