37 Philadelphia schools will close. That's the word from Superintendent William R. Hite today, calling it an historic moment for the School District, and the decision was tough but necessary. The reorganization of Elementary, Middle and High Schools has the support of Mayor Nutter and must be approved by the School Reform Commission.

More Paulsboro residents have joined the lawsuit against Conrail and parent company CSX over the train derailment that sent chemical into the air and water. The number of Plaintiffs is up to 54 and the residents are seeking money as well as medical screening.

Pottsgrove Middle School was evacuated today after students started passing out. In all, 22 students were taken to Pottstown and Phoenixville hospitals for evaluation. All were released and the all clear was given by HAZMAT crews called to the school. It is believed that after three students fainted at choral practice, others panicked and reported similar symptoms.
