The Rev. LeRoi Simmons, 74, a business owner, minister, and longtime community activist, died Thursday, May 6, at Einstein Medical Center from complications of sickle-cell anemia.
A family man, Rev. Simmons built a life around standing up for children and his Germantown neighborhood, fighting injustice whenever he saw it. But he somehow remained hopeful about the world, said City Councilmember Helen Gym, a friend.
“He was clearheaded without ever being cynical,” said Gym. “LeRoi just exhorted us to do more, every day.”
Born in North Philadelphia to Lubertha Mae and Leroy Simmons, Rev. Simmons graduated in 1965 from Benjamin Franklin High School. His father died when Rev. Simmons was 14, forcing him to grow up young, giving him a sense of responsibility for others that never left him. ....

When they arrived in this country, Tong and Chen landed in the peculiar institution of the American neighborhood urban high school, where the most vulnerable children often are concentrated together and then denied what they need to thrive. New immigrants from all over the world interact with students from marginalized groups who have their own history of oppression. At the time of the attacks, Southern had a student body of more than 800 students, which was two-thirds Black and nearly a quarter Asian, with a small but growing Latino population and a handful of white students. ....

Philly school board unanimously rejects five new charter schools

The Philadelphia school board unanimously denied five new charter schools Thursday night, continuing its streak of rejecting proposals that would expand the city’s sizable charter sector.
District officials cited flaws in all the proposals, which would have created more than 4,000 openings in new charters, and transferred millions of dollars from the district to the independently run schools.
“We are focused on high-quality education for all students across the city,” board member Mallory Fix Lopez said after the meeting. “When you have applications that just have glaring holes in them, it just doesn’t seem to match high standards” that the board expects, she said. ....
