Good for the city! We hope...

Kent here. I'm busting in on Konner's blog to share some interesting news. Shante' at the Urban Affairs Coalition invited us to a meeting at the City Controller's office. Konner couldn't make it because he was in the middle of finals at school, so I went it alone. Several organizations that teach financial literacy were there, all of whom (except us, as we're new) have been part of a program called "Bank on Philadelphia". It turns out that both the Mayor of Philadelphia and the President of the United States have declared April as "Financial Literacy" month (who knew?), so the Bank on Philadelphia coalition is trying to get the public schools to let foundations like WEF go into the schools and teach our programs in April. All of it would be done under the Bank on Philadelphia auspices and organized by the City Controller. First though, there will be a meeting with Dr. Ackerman, the Chairman of the School Board, and someone from the Teacher's Union, to see if they will allow it. How can something so obviously beneficial, and backed by the Mayor and the President, be so hard and maybe not even get done? Cross your fingers!
