Buses bound for an education rally in Harrisburg will depart the School District of Philadelphia headquarters at 440 N. Broad St. tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m. The rally is aimed at protesting likely cuts to the state’s contribution to the district’s budget, as much as $629 million. The cuts will have far-ranging consequences for the district, including cuts of about $61 million to schools themselves. These cuts will likely result in a host thorny issues, including larger class sizes, fewer specialty teachers and fewer special education teachers.
