Equality in Pennsylvania school sports gaps persist
In Pennsylvania schools boys receive more sports opportunities and higher pay than girls. Officials cite weak enforcement of federal and state rules on equal opportunities, with little monitoring across districts. A new law to boost enforcement may address inequities in interscholastic athletics.

Editorial hints at settlements with firemen and clerks
Rich notes progress toward settlements with the firemen and clerical employees but sharp split with public works. An arbitrator may soon rule on the firemen case after binding arbitration following failed bargaining. The city and union remain far apart on a public works contract and a final offer of 7 percent contrasts with a 30 percent demand. The union seeks a $1 hourly raise, higher longevity, and expanded eye, dental, and medical benefits.
