SOUTH PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia teachers are once again calling on Pennsylvania lawmakers to do something to help fix, repair and update aging buildings in the district. Legislation is working its way through the house, but teachers say funding is needed now. Earlier in the week, two key pieces of legislation made it out of the Pennsylvania House Education Committee aimed at investing in school improvements. State Representative Elizabeth Fielder led a press conference Friday at South Philadelphia High School highlighting the bill.
