Utah ranks near the bottom for school nurse to student ratios. Today on the news, we speak with the only nurse in the Grand County School District about her work and why it’s so important. Plus, archaeologists found a monument at a Utah internment camp that imprisoned Japanese Americans. The prisoners there built it for a man killed by a guard. But earlier this year, the Topaz Museum removed it with a forklift before informing the former prisoners and their descendants. Our radio partners report on the reaction from the Japanese American community.
