Hour 2 -   Springfield School Board member, Dr. Maryam Mohammadkhani, joins Nick Reed this morning. Here’s what they cover: We're just one week away from Election Day! Today we're talking money. Dr. M talks about how much money each school board candidate has raised. Dr. M talks school ranking and student learning outcomes. Just 10 years ago, Central High School was ranked as a gold medal school and was #4 in Missouri... It is now #87 in the state. Central High School is ranked #6,497 in the National rankings. Schools are ranked on their performance on state-required tests, graduation and how well they prepare students for college. Nick & Dr. M highly recommend that you do your research on the candidates before you vote on April 4th. Dr. M shares a heartbreaking story of a SPS graduate who struggled with college courses because they couldn't read. Please note: The thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of Maryam Mohammadkhani and may not reflect the thoughts and opinions of the school board.
