Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.

We explore the business behind charter education and the labyrinth of issues involved.
Guests
- Emily Lawson Founder and CEO of DC Prep charter school
- Kathleen deLaski Senior Program Officer for Education, The Walton Family Foundation
