As summer vacation draws to a close, schools are gearing up to reopen. In the closing months of the spring semester, the atmosphere in city schools was punctuated by the clash between students and Baltimore police at Mondawmin Mall the day of Freddie Gray’s funeral. The conversations that followed was about policing, crime, poverty and violence. That, along with reports of vacancies in top posts and teaching positions at public schools, have us thinking about what students will experience as they had back to class in the next few weeks.
With us to talk about how the school year is shaping up for students, teachers and administrators is Erica Green, education reporter at the Baltimore Sun. Also joining us is Dr. Lisa Grillo, Chief of Human Capital at Baltimore City Public Schools.
