School Board delays vote on closing schools, an email prompts an ICE investigation, and the Eagles get aggressive in draft
About this episode
The episode discusses the delayed vote on school closures, an ICE investigation prompted by an email, and the Eagles' draft strategy.
The Philadelphia School Board was scheduled to vote on a plan to close 17 schools in the district this Thursday, but after pressure from City Council, they delayed the vote by a week. We hear the latest on what’s in that plan, including one more school that was removed from the list. Plus, a Montgomery County man found himself the target of an ICE investigation after sending a 4-sentence email advocating for an Afghan immigrant, and the State Senate made a new push to keep trans girls out of female sports. 00:00 Intro 02:00 School closing vote delayed , one more school removed from list 07:05 A bold robbery and a crash into a police station in Northeast Philly 12:35 PA lawmakers take on the state budget and trans girls in sports 18:06 The 4-sentence email that launched an ICE investigation in Montgomery County 24:32 Eagles trade up to draft Makai Lemon 29:27 Brad Lidge’s journey from baseball to archaeology Listen to The Week in Philly every Saturday at 5am and 3pm, and Sunday at 3pm
