Daily News | Krish Mohip, 2nd finalist for Philly superintendent job: ‘Your kids are why I want to be here’
Mohip said he struggled as a high school student, and as superintendent would stress supports, making sure every student in the city has a connection to at least one adult at their school. He acknowledged educators’ weariness after the pandemic and said attention needs to be paid to their needs, too.
Mohip indicated he would embrace the approach to school safety favored by Hite, who has championed school safety chief Kevin Bethel and his programs, including a diversion program that has dramatically reduced the number of students arrested in schools, and a re-branding of school police as the “school safety officers” emphasizing relationships versus punitive measures.
“That’s exactly the opposite of what we were doing,” he said. “We were still going to provide discipline to our children, but we were also going to wrap them in supports.”“I have a track record,” Mohip said. “Your kids are why I want to be here.”
