Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The District has a new Deputy Mayor of Education. Paul Kihn, an education consultant, was appointed by Mayor Muriel Bowser in late September. He comes to the department after a series of controversies and a heated school board election in November. What does the deputy mayor for education do, and what are Kihn’s hopes for the future of the D.C. public school system?
