Based on this report, the money will allow families to send their children to a range of schools, all while making sure that they are able to access technology and resources that are vital to success in the classroom. Of course, with the pandemic, many have been facing financial strain and these funds will go a long way in making sure that kids throughout Philadelphia get the education they deserve.

As for Rubin and Meek, they are always collaborating on new initiatives and we're sure they will have even more in store for the city, very soon.
