The District is getting rid of its regional superintendents and plans to reuse its regional offices as "Parent and Family Resource Centers," according to a exclusive report in thePhiladelphia Tribune this weekend.
The Tribune article, by Eric Mayes, says its information is from a District statement, including staff changes, released on Friday. The Notebook is awaiting comment from the District on the reported changes.
The Tribune says that in lieu of regional superintendents, who now supervise principals in their geographic area, there will be three assistant superintendents for elementary education, one for middle schools, one for high schools, one for alternative schools, and one for Promise Academies. All will report to Penny Nixon
