Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Meade High School seniors line up for the school's 2012 graduation ceremony.
Maryland requires that school board elections in the Old Line State be non-partisan contests. But a new state law allows the executive in Prince George’s County to appoint officials to the board there, and one recent candidate with party connections boasted about it on the campaign trail. Now a group of activists is demanding a return to a fully elected board of non-partisan officials. Kojo explores the role partisan politics plays in local school board races and what’s at stake in the debate in Prince George’s.

- David Cahn Co-Chair, Citizens For An Elected Board
