Connections: Great Schools for All on how to create socioeconomic diversity in schools

A local nonprofit group is speaking out about how to create more socioeconomic diversity in schools. This comes after a state grant largely failed to bring more suburban students into the Rochester City School District.

This hour, we're joined by members of Great Schools for Allto discuss their ideas for creating a community-wide approach to improving socioeconomic diversity, and the research behind the benefits of integrated schools. In studio:

  • Don Pryor, member of the Great Schools for All leadership team
  • Mark Hare, member of the Great Schools for All leadership team
  • Clay Osborne, member of the Great Schools for All leadership team
  • Lynette Sparks, member of the Great Schools for All leadership team, and associate pastor for Third Presbyterian Church
