District parents urged to take active role in Chester Upland
Community members met at the Southeastern YMCA to hear Frank Moran outline state role in possible February closure of Mann, Jefferis, and Franklin schools. Moran urged active parental advocacy, district collaboration, and use of area colleges and the IU to improve management and attendance monitoring while targeting dropout prevention and desegregation funds. He noted the state’s focus on Chester Upland and emphasized that improving education remains essential for attracting industry.
