City Councilperson Katherine Gilmore Richardson described the moving around of teachers a month into the school year a “troubling” practice. Legislation she is introducing would call for hearings.
Parents and community members protested against leveling at Henry Houston Elementary in West Mount Airy on Oct. 4. City Council now wants to hold hearings on the practice of moving teachers a month into the school year to account for enrollment shifts at schools.City Council wants to know why the Philadelphia School District is still engaging in leveling, the practice of moving teachers a month into the school year based on schools’ actual enrollment.
Leveling works this way: If one school has fewer students than projected, it might lose teachers to another school that enrolled more students than expected.Better-resourced districts don’t use leveling, and even some urban school systems have moved away from it. But Gilmore Richardson said that wasn’t good enough. She said COVID-19 learning loss made leveling an especially counterproductive process.
