Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Montgomery County has long prided itself on having some of the most successful public schools in Maryland — and the nation. But the tough economic climate is hitting the schools hard, and administrators are bracing for further cuts to an already lean budget. Join Kojo as we talk with Montgomery Schools Superintendent Jerry Weast about the challenges of maintaining academic excellence during an economic downturn.
