Arlene Ackerman discusses her five year strategic plan for school reform, called Imagine 2014, as well as the opening of the Parent and Community Resource Center
She also makes note of the lack of qualified teachers, even stating that students have come up to her asking 'why can't [they] have good teachers?' Ackerman submits, that meassures are being done to bring in new teachers, and programs are being set up, to help those that want to teach, be able to get the proper certification.
However, teachers are only one of the issues that need to be resolved........Currently 85 schools are failing, according to Arlene Ackerman, and two of them will be closed down. Gilliespie Middle School and William Penn High School
