OCOS Meeting and Workshop

A meeting of the Philly DSA Our City Our Schools Coordinating Committee.

The meeting will be followed by a workshop titled: "A Socialist Approach to School Funding Inequality in Philadelphia”. At this event, Dr. David I. Backer, professor of educational foundations and policy studies at West Chester University and a DSA member, will give a presentation looking at socialist approaches to school funding inequality in the Philadelphia region. The presentation will provide a quick overview of the socialist perspective, the funding inequality problem in Philadelphia schools, and contrast recent attempts to equalize this disparity with more socialist recommendations and demands. The event is open to the public.
