We had a busy week at PublicSource.

We looked at the community school model in the Pittsburgh region 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 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.

Finally, we ended our week with a report on Chatham University faculty gathering in a brewery to sign cards declaring their intent to unionize and essays from four Ukrainian women in Pittsburgh ahead of an event series called "I am Ukraine."
