Special Children's School Future in Question

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools is poised to shutter The Special Childrens School, sparking community debate as they weigh cost-cutting moves against student impact.

The future of this vital program hangs in the balance. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
