Norfolk Public Schools Update

This week the Norfolk School Board appointed Dr. Samuel T. King as the new superintendent of Norfolk Public Schools. On the next Another View, we'll talk with Dr. King about his new position and his vision for this urban school district. We'll also talk with school board chair, Dr. Kirk T. Houston, and interim superintendent Mr. Michael Spencer about transition plans and how NPS is doing in improving on-time graduation rates and lowering the drop out rate. It's all a part of WHRO and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's American Graduate: Let's Make It Happen initiative. Plus, Lisa Godley talks with Tavis Smiley about his new documentary, STAND. Join us for a great conversation Friday, May 18 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM.
