Description

Students are falling farther and farther behind, and this issue is one of the most important to talk about as it’s literally the future of our region and state. We do a deep with Ron French from Bridge Magazine as to why. The main pieces we talk about, if you’re following along, are here: Why do Detroit kids miss so much school?
