Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Former D.C. Schools Chancellor Antwan Wilson.
Earlier this year, Ballou High School received national attention and acclaim when the southeast D.C. school announced that its entire senior class had been accepted to college. But an investigation by WAMU and NPR found high rates of unexcused absences, raising questions about how some students passed classes and graduated prepared. We speak with D.C. Schools Chancellor Antwan Wilson about what happened.
WAMU Education coverage is supported in part by American Graduate: Let’s Make It Happen, a public media initiative made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
