Last time on The Through Line, we interviewed several of the candidates in the Denver School Board election. Well, the election is over, the results are in, but what does this ultimately mean for kids? In episode four, we zoom out from the Denver School Board election to ask, what is a school board, anyway? How much power do they have to change a 100-year-old education system?
