Summary
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
