Parker's School Board Nominees, New Philly Phlush, and Eclipse Plans

Listen Later

It’s the Friday News Roundup! Today's topics include the nine nominees for the Philadelphia Board of Education, and which neighborhood is getting a new public restroom pod, known as a Philly Phlush. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Dale Mezzacappa, senior reporter at Chalkbeat Philadelphia, and Mike D’Onofrio, reporter for Axios Philadelphia. They also discuss plans to see Monday’s solar eclipse. 

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism: 

  • Some area schools are dismissing early, or keeping kids longer, for the upcoming solar eclipse
  • Philadelphia's next public bathroom will soon open in City Park
  • Parker’s picks for Philly school board back her vision for year-round school, longer days
