Underfunded
Produced by Temple University students, Underfunded investigates how Philadelphia’s public schools have become so poorly funded by speaking to teachers, lawmakers and more.
Directed by Tamerah Slaughter and produced by Phil Chi, Lucy Wells, and Matt Brand, the documentary gives insight into problems currently crippling the school system, and considers how these problems will affect the city’s citizens in the future.
The student producers spoke to Anthony Hopkins, the Communications Director at PCCY; Shanne Garner, the Education Policy Co-Director at PCCY; Kevin McCorry, a reporter for WHYY; David Lapp, Staff Attorney at the Education Law Center; and Kristin Luebbert, a teacher at Bache-Martin Elementary School.
