Here's some unexpected news from the Scranton School Board meeting: the district could leave financial recovery as early as next week if the board amends the recovery plan tonight. Plan would still be in effect but the district would have greater control.

I'm at the town hall meeting at John Adams Elementary, which could close at the end of the school year. The meeting is being translated to Spanish and Swahili for the school's diverse population.
