Description

Did you know that 1 in 25 students in Spokane Public schools are homeless? On today's episode of On the Corner of Public Schools, hosts Joe Ader and Emma Hughes talk with Ammie Hawk, a Student Services and McKinney-Vento liaison for East Spokane Valley.

Homelessness is a complex issue. We don’t claim to explore every part of this intersection, but hope that each conversation brings new clarity to the reality as a whole. Please keep an open, curious mindset as you listen, and seek to learn, just as we are.
