In case folks missed it in the middle of this episode, we want to emphasize that not ALL kids from the closing schools are slated to move together. Some kids getting special education services will be shunted to other schools https://t.co/zslcLqOGCv

We sit down with former SPS CFO Stephen Nielsen to understand “binding conditions” and potential state oversight for SPS if it can’t close its budget gap.
