Philly Activists End Fast over School Cuts

Writer: OurStudioOurStudio

Philadelphia activists have ended a dayslong fast to protest school district layoffs.

The activists say they are optimistic that the district will rehire staff now that the state and city have come up with some additional money. School officials, however, say it's too early to know if a state bailout package will allow them to rehire any of the district's 3,800 laid-off employees.

Over the weekend, lawmakers in Harrisburg crafted a tentative series of proposals that would generate about $141 million for the broke district.
