What to know as students head back to school across Philadelphia

Students across Philadelphia are returning to classrooms as the School District of Philadelphia initiates its Back-to-School Bus program to support the transition. Simultaneously, students in NW Indiana are heading back to school despite ongoing challenges caused by persistent power outages in the region. Both areas are managing the start of the academic year, though NW Indiana faces infrastructure disruptions that contrast with the organized outreach efforts currently taking place within the Philadelphia school system.
