School leaders say the aim is to give all students better opportunities. But many already disagree with parts of the plan. The head of the City Council Education Committee said he would “never support” closing one of the schools on the district’s list. chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…

NEW: @SEPTA is restoring some bus lines that serve schools after an outcry from students and teachers who said transit cuts made getting to school on time impossible. The city announced that SEPTA agreed "in concept" to restore some service on Sept. 2. chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…

More than 21,000 Philadelphia students rely on SEPTA to get to school. But if the transit system does not get more funding by Aug. 14, officials say service cuts at the start of the school year are unavoidable. chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…

NEW: Philly school district officials have promised any future school closures will be benefit students. But community leaders involved in the planning process say it's become opaque. "We are not looked at as resources. We are looked at as obstacles.” chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…
