School District of Philadelphia officials state Simon Gratz High School is set, tentatively, to open Tuesday, March 14, provided an inspection of the facility meets district approval.
The auditorium is still being inspected, but students and staff do not have access to the auditorium, as it is sealed because of the inspection. That work will continue regardless of school being open.
It was noted Mastery will distribute meals Monday between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. outside of Mastery Prep Elementary School, at 1801 W. Pike Street, at the 18th Street entrance. Three sets of breakfasts and lunches will be provided to families, covering Monday through Wednesday, in case school is closed longer than anticipated.The district has closed several schools over the last two weeks, due to unexpected asbestos findings in district-owned school buildings.
Philadelphia Federation of Teachers President Jerry Jordan says a lack of funding for school maintenance has caused problems like asbestos to keep reoccurring. "Our buildings have been neglected because of the lack of budget to keep them in good repair, this unfortunately happened," Jordan said. Meanwhile, Superintendent Tony Watlington acknowledged the continuing asbestos problem in Philadelphia schools that made headlines before the coronavirus pandemic.
