It’s September, which means it’s time for our annual back-to-school check-in with the Madison Metropolitan School District! Carousel catches up with superintendent Jen Cheatham to get the scoop on MMSD, including the district’s Behavior Education Plan, their commitment to school empowerment, and an update on the ongoing issues surrounding emotional and physical safety at school.
For the second half of the hour, we hear from Vanessa McDowell and Jay Young of YWCA Madison about the upcoming Racial Justice Summit on October 2nd and 3rd. They were joined via phone by film director Shakti Butler, who will be screening several new films at the summit.
