Philadelphia plans high school that will train prospective teachers

FromThe Philadelphia Inquirer: The Philadelphia school district plans to open a small high school devoted to preparing would-be teachers to work in the city. The urban-education academy would open as the fourth building in the Kensington High complex. In September 2005, the old Kensington High was broken up into three schools, each with about 500 students and its own theme: culinary arts, business, and creative and performing arts. The urban-education school will be in space now used by the creative and performing arts students, who will get a new building in September.
