Description

CBS Pittsburgh August 18, 2021 Pittsburgh Public Schools is changing its start date again. PPS families got a phone message from Superintendent Dr. Anthony Hamlet Wednesday saying the start date will be Friday, Sept. 3 instead of Wednesday, Sept. 8. The original decision to push back the start of school by two weeks to Sept. 8 drew the ire of parents. The district has blamed the delay on the seat gap on school buses and staff concerns about masks in hot buildings with no air conditioning and the spread of COVID-19.
