Thompsonâs contract expires at the end of June.

It has been my life s ministry to help build the brand of B-CU and establish Wildcat Athletics as a comprehensive championship program, but most of all develop student-athletes into Champions in life through their experiences in our program and at our university, said Thompson. This past year has been a season of reflection and reassessment- all around. If we learned anything, we have learned not to take life, health or anything else for that matter- for granted. Making this change now gives me the opportunity to focus some time on the most important things to me and my family while charting the next steps in my personal and professional journey.

School administrators across the Philadelphia area are moving forward with plans to provide coronavirus testing to students and staff a step seen by many as essential for in-person learning to proceed safely.
The planning comes as a surge of coronavirus cases have compelled the School District of Philadelphia to delay bringing some students back to the classroom, and forced other schools in the region to suspend in-person learning.
Mastery Charter which runs 26 schools with more than 14,000 students in Philadelphia and Camden announced Thursday that it would provide free weekly coronavirus tests to all students and staff who want them, whenever in-person education resumes.
