Another View on Education: Communities in Schools

You may have heard this statistic before: "Every 26 seconds a child makes the decision to drop out of school." The dropout crisis is real and a fight we as a region can not afford to loose. But what are we doing to prevent it and what can we as individuals and as a community do to turn things around? On the next Another View we'll look at how schools and communities are coming together and creating positive outcomes. Our guests will be: Travis Ames, the Board Chairman for Communities in Schools of Hampton Roads; Jerry Gaines, mentor, author, former educator and coach; Da'Von Boyd, a Stamps Leadership Scholar who also mentors and Tariq Muhammad, a student who has overcome challenging circumstances to not only graduate on time, but with honors. Plus, we'll introduce you to a local columnist who tells it like it was! Join us for the next Another View, Friday, May 31 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us on your computer at whrv.org.
