It's back to school week on The Politics Hour with Kojo Nnamdi.
Prince George's County shifted its bell schedule for many schools this year to help overcome bus driver shortages, which had led to some students being chronically late to class. Yet, the problem continues to plague the school system. Prince George's County Public Schools Superintendent Millard House joined the show to discuss what he's doing to fix it. Plus, we ask him about recovering from pandemic learning loss and keeping students safe in school.
D.C. Public Schools Chancellor Lewis Ferebee got behind the mic to discuss budget battles, chronic absenteeism, cell phone policies, and DCPS's multi-million dollar tutoring initiative.
Sorting political fact from fiction, and having fun while we’re at it. Join us for our weekly review of the politics, policies, and personalities of the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia.
