What are some of the biggest issues facing the Rochester City School District?

Seven candidates are vying for four open positions in the Democratic primary and ballot lines in the general election. This hour, we hear from the first group of candidates.* Our guests:

  • Maria Cruz
  • Jacqueline Griffin
  • Isaiah Santiago

*The second group of candidates will join us on Thursday at noon.

Then in our second hour, we talk with Assemblymember Sarah Clark about New York’s 2023-2024 budget. It’s part of our series of conversations with local state representatives on this subject. We discuss childcare, bail reform, housing, and more. Our guest:

  • Assemblymember Sarah Clark, District 136
