Superintendent Tricia Mooney discusses the school board's position on city considering putting a question on the ballot about legalizing marijuana businesses. (It seems like the city council listened, since it decided not to take action). Mooney then talks about kindergarten registration, plans for graduating the class of 2024, plus elementary and middle school summer programs.
