The Rochester City School District will soon welcome a new superintendent. Eric J. Rosser's start date is July 1.

It comes just after Democratic primary voters make their selections for members for the Board of Education.

This hour, we sit down with the candidates to discuss their platforms and a range of issues affecting students, families, and the district — including federal policies, school safety, curricula, and more.
