In this new episode of The Lede Graf, I do a quick deep dive into the world of School Attendance Zones. While there's a lot to talk about when it comes to this topic, I’m mainly going to focus on the racial and funding impact of the zones. The question is how do we create more equitable school attendance zones so all students can succeed? I also cover the stories of Kelly Williams- Bolar and the Clinton School District in Mississippi!
