flag Philly school board votes 6-2 to explore transferring 20 vacant schools to city to cut costs and boost revitalization.

flag The Philadelphia School Board voted 6-2 to explore transferring 20 vacant school buildings to the city, aiming to reduce maintenance costs and support urban revitalization. flag The move follows safety concerns, including the discovery of a body at the former Ada Lewis Middle School, and comes amid a $300 million district deficit. flag While officials say the shift could free up funds for active schools and aid Mayor Cherelle Parker’s housing goals, some board members and advocates worry about losing valuable property without compensation and stress the need for public input and alternative uses. flag The transfer remains exploratory, with no final decisions made.
