Harrisburg mayoral candidates take readers’ questions: How can the city help the schools?
Today 5:10 AM
Editor’s note: In advance of a planned forum for Harrisburg’s mayoral candidates, PennLive asked readers what questions they would like to ask the candidates. The forum was canceled after technical issues interrupted the taping, but four of the candidates agreed to answer a few of our reader’s questions. Here’s the second of the questions, and the candidates’ responses.
One of Harrisburg’s biggest systemic problems, the quality of its schools, is one that actually has nothing to do with city government. But since the city needs a stronger public school system to start to encourage new families to move and stay, one reader wanted to know how the next mayor can help with the revival of Harrisburg schools.
