First Day Of School For New Philly Superintendent

Posted: Updated:

The new superintendent of the School District of Philadelphia joined thousands of students Friday for the first day of school.

Dr. William Hite also joined the Fox 29 Good Day crew Friday morning to talk about why he took the superintendent position and the challenges he faces for the 2012-2013 school year.

Hite says he wants to spend the first 90 days getting a feel for all of the issues facing the school district.

Among many issues, Hite says the budget is a major one. The new superintendent wants to make sure the district's schools are safe and secure while also ensuring the resources the district does have go to the classrooms to support the schools and their educators.

Hite says he's open to listening to all kinds of recommendations on how to improve education for Philadelphia students.
