Judge Rejects CU Master Oversee Chester Upland Reforms
A federal judge in Philadelphia decided not to appoint a master to oversee Chester Upland School Districts special education reforms. Judge Robert S. Gawthrop III gave the district more time to implement court-ordered changes and scheduled a January court return to assess progress amid reported ongoing suspensions and absenteeism concerns. He urged timely action, higher truancy enforcement, and potential state funding relief if progress stalls.
