 

The DeKalb County School District recently updated its list of potential school closures after facing strong pushback from area residents. Jim Bass has been reporting on the district for Decaturish and joined Closer Look for an update. He says DCSD has room for about 110,000 students but only has around 90,000 currently enrolled. Residents will still have to review other plans even after the district agrees on what buildings to shutter or repurpose.


Also on today’s program, WBUR’s veteran journalist Meghna Chakrabarti has hosted On Point. In a conversation with Closer Look host Rose Scott, Chakrabarti reflected on the current state of credible news and public media.
