SUMMARY:Tickets for Kids Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Tickets for Kids and the Sto-Rox Library announced the discussion dates for their new collaborative book club. The book chosen by their group is: “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City” by Matthew Desmond. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize\, this book was also the One Book One Community choice of the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Public Health. \nIf you would like to attend\, RSVP to Jennifer Gray by email (jgray@forstorox.org) or phone (412.771.1222). Parking is located in the parking lot on the side of the building\, PNC parking lot after banking hours\, or on the street. \nDiscussion Dates\nDiscussions will be held at the Sto-Rox Library on the following dates: \n\nDecember 10\, 2018: 4-5:30 PM\nFebruary 11\, 2019: 6-7:30 PM\nApril 8\, 2019: 6-7:30 PM\nJune 10\, 2019: 6-7:30 PM\n\nAbout the Book\n“Evicted” by Matthew Desmond describes the plight of poor families who\, for want of a few dollars\, are forced to move from their homes\, apartments\, or trailers. An ethnographer\, Desmond shares the intimate vicissitudes of his subject/friends as they struggle to make ends meet while negotiating a bewildering system of slumlords\, public agencies\, law enforcement\, and courts\, a system that seems almost designed to reinforce a downward spiral of poverty. The consequences of eviction are especially felt by mothers with young children\, whose development is jeopardized by substandard housing\, low-quality neighborhoods\, and poor nutrition. \n*Information provided by Tickets for Kids Charities and Pitt Public Health*

SUMMARY:Public Hearing on Chapter 49: Certification of Professional Personnel
DESCRIPTION:The Pennsylvania State Board of Education will conduct a public hearing in Homestead to receive input from interested parties on draft proposed amendments to Chapter 49 (Certification of Professional Personnel). Registrations must be submitted by noon on June 11\, 2019. \nTestimony Limitations\nTestimony is limited to no more than 5 minutes\, and participants will be assigned a time slot on a first come\, first served basis when they register.
