We had a busy week at PublicSource.
We looked at the community school model in the Pittsburgh region ([link removed]) and the work it tries to do for students outside of basic instruction. We reported on the slight enrollment increase the Community College of Allegheny County ([link removed]) saw after a decade-long decrease.
We asked (and are still asking) you to share your questions and areas of interest ahead of the 2024 election ([link removed]) .
Finally, we ended our week with a report on Chatham University faculty gathering in a brewery to sign cards declaring their intent to unionize ([link removed]) and essays from four Ukrainian women in Pittsburgh ([link removed]) ahead of an event series called "I am Ukraine."
