Public Hearing
Season 1 Finale with Tracy O’Connell Novick, WPS School Committee Member
How should School Committees support public education and how can residents hold them accountable? Season 1 of Public Hearing has been about systems that impact youth; with pretty much every episode highlighting education in one way or another. In our Season Finale (woo hoo!), Josh talks with Tracy O’Connell Novick, a member of the Worcester Public Schools School Committee with kids in WPS (crazy, right?) and how we think about, fund, and prioritize issues in public education. Thanks for a great first season!
