So Close, But So Far

Our host LUL President & CEO, Lyndon Pryor, is joined by Dr. John Marshall, ⁠Chief Equity Officer for Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS)⁠. Our duo raps about the current state of public education, charter schools, parents' responsibility in school, and how JCPS is so close and so far from getting it right. Dr Marshall was born and raised in Louisville and completed his undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate studies at Western Kentucky University. The self-proclaimed "Grinch who stole celebration", focuses on those students who traditionally fall through the cracks and creating a truly equitable system.
