Why so many historic Philadelphia street lamps are shaped like the letter 'P'

Hundreds of historic lampposts in neighborhoods like Society Hill and Old City curve into an arch resembling a capital "P," carrying fixtures known as "Franklin lights."

Philadelphia tenant unions take on junk fees, broken elevators and AI property management

When tenants at King’s Ferry Square Apartments in South Philadelphia call their property manager, Camden answers the phone. “Hi there!” she says, unfailingly chipper. Camden, however, is not a property manager, nor is she an employee of The Michaels Organization, which owns the building. In fact, Camden is not a human. She’s an artificial intelligence agent, named for the South Jersey city where The Michaels Organization is headquartered.

Mullica Hill Fourth Grader Delivers Schoolwide Message Using AAC

New Jersey guidance sets out a responsibility for schools when assistive technology is needed: if a student’s IEP team determines it is necessary, the district or charter school must provide the devices or services at no cost to parents, and must supply items specified in the IEP as soon as possible, according to the New Jersey Department of Education. That policy provides context for communication supports in schools, but the report about Anthony Knauer does not say whether his device is specified in an IEP or how it was funded.

Philadelphia state test scores are months late. Now state officials want to change the cut scores.

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Pennsylvania state officials have proposed changing how they score students’ performance on state math and reading tests, making it easier for students to be considered “advanced.” The proposal , which Pennsylvania Department of Education officials shared with the state’s Board of Education Thursday, would have implications for how the state measures student achievement and schools’ success, and would apply to tests students took months ago. It comes after months of uncertainty over delayed test results in Philadelphia, where families and teachers have repeatedly asked officials to release the scores they usually get in August. State officials acknowledged the department’s cut score review contributed to the wait. “This delayed reporting. It’s not great timing,” Brian Campbell, director of the Department of Education’s bureau of curriculum, assessment, and instruction, told board members Thursday. But he said the state was overdue in updating score thresholds set more than a decade ago, and this would create “a new baseline.” Students take state tests every spring to evaluate whether

Academy museum’s real deficit

When Philadelphia officials argue about what a museum costs the public, a single number can travel farther than the paperwork behind it. At a City Council hearing, speakers cited a $4.4 million shortfall for the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. Documents later placed the 2025 gap at $960,000. That distance between a hearing figure and a ledger figure is the Academy museum deficit in its most political form: not only red ink, but a fight over which red ink the city is being asked to believe.
