Did you see the Fern Hollow Bridge news this week?
Two years since its collapse, the National Transportation Safety Board said the city had ignored a decade's worth of warnings and inspectors improperly load rated the bridge. read about those findings, and the city's response to them, here ([link removed]) .
Also, the Pittsburgh Public Schools board will vote next week on a previous policy regarding summary citations against students, which are issued for the most minor criminal offenses, often resulting in fines.
A similar policy has been on pause since last summer as district officials work out a permanent solution. The new proposal would require principals to decide whether an offense merits a citation or other supports ([link removed]) .
Read more on the revised policy and the rest of the stories from this week below. ⬇️
