Looming School Officer Strike, SEPTA Overcrowding & Bellevue’s $100 Cheesesteak

Listen Later

It’s our Friday News Round up. We’re talking about why everyone arrived late to work and school this week, more SEPTA cuts happening September 1, Philly public school teachers have a tentative deal (but school SAFETY officers are threatening to strike), and where you can get the new $100 cheesesteak. Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz chat about these stories and more.    

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism:

  • On Philly’s first day of school, students and educators feel the strain of SEPTA cuts
  • PFT’s new contract includes 3% raises, parental leave, and an easier path up the pay scale
  • Are Pennsylvania lawmakers close to securing funding for SEPTA to stop service cuts?
  • The Bellevue’s New $100 Cheesesteak Comes With a Butler and a Silver Platter
  • Philly school police officers say they need better pay and training — and new uniforms — to keep kids safe
