The Philadelphia Coalition Advocating for Public Schools (PCAPS) is on
the move! Please come out and join PCAPS at one of the three Town Hall
Forums coming up in the next two weeks as we fight to keep our
neighborhood schools open! In September PCAPS held its first
conference with hundreds of parents, students, school staff and
community members at Kensington CAPA High School to listen to one
another and strategize about what our schools need most. Since then
hundreds of activists have begun circulating a community survey and
organizing listening sessions to engage real people around real
solutions for our schools. However, the School Reform Commission still
has plans to announce the closing of 40 schools this year, despite the
fact that it is wildly unpopular. Northwest Education Town Hall
