This article was originally published in The Notebook. In August 2020, The Notebook became Chalkbeat Philadelphia.
Two days ago I logged onto SchoolNet to start some lesson planning.
The drop down list where a teacher could pick his region, school, and name has changed. Instead of regions, I found what is labeled as AD. I’m not sure what that stands for. But in AD-5 through AD-9, an assistant superintendent for elementary schools is in charge of a group of schools along geographical patterns.
AD-9
Pam Brown will be the assistant superintendent for schools in the former West and Southwest regions.
