Frederica Freyberg:

At the state Capitol this week, a legislative task force looking at education and economic racial disparities released its final report. This group is part of the task force Assembly Speaker Robin Vos convened in the wake of the George Floyd protests.

Kalan Haywood:

This has been a great endeavor. We have covered educational stuff, from increasing diversity in the teacher workforce, getting and maintaining more teachers of color, breaking down barriers to that and breaking down barriers in education and increasing reading literacy.
