Anthony Hamlet officially took over the reins of the Pittsburgh Public Schools with his swearing in as superintendent July 1.
And wasting no time, he immediately left to tour the Summer Dreamer’s Academy at University Prep in the Hill, where he also met with reporters.
With just two months until fall classes start, he said his first priority is organization.
“I will introduce a 90-day plan, and be putting my transition team together,” he said.
“As I said this morning, I’ll be reaching out to community leaders, whether they’ve been supportive, unsupportive or simply have had concerns, to ask for assistance.”
Programmatically, the only thing he said he wants to add—and whether it would be done in select schools or district-wide remains to be seen—is one called ACE.
