(Hour 1c) Rich continued discussing redistricting in this segment.  He talked about a lack of involvement from parents and explained why that has come to pass.  He talked about a choice system that would be preferred and we heard about a plan which would help to advance students to a higher reading level and open up much-needed room within the schools.
