EPISODE NOTES
Bedford High School has issued twice the number of failing grades this year compared to last year.
According to data from the Manchester School District, 42% of kids are failing at least one class. Thirty percent have 5 or more absences.
To compound matters, the data show minority kids are struggling disproportionately.
Education freedom accounts will allow Granite State families to access state funds to establish savings accounts and use the money to help parents find the best education options available for their children.
