Closer Look with Rose Scott

Local school board terminates its superintendent; State director talks plans to develop Georgia; Goodie Mob on the state of rap music


Listen Later

In a 4-1 vote, the DeKalb County School Board voted to terminate Superintendent Cheryl Watson-Harris. The news comes as the district has been under fire following a viral video that showed unsafe and unsanitary conditions at Druid Hills High School. WABE education reporter Martha Dalton discusses what’s next for the district.

Reggie Taylor, the state director for Georgia USDA Rural Development, discusses several topics, including providing resources and funding for Georgia's rural communities, the primary challenges rural Georgians face and what his agency envisions for the long-term growth of rural Georgia.

From the “Closer Look” archives, we revisit one of our listeners’ favorites: Rose’s conversation with Goodie Mob.

The Atlanta-based hip-hop group discuss several topics, including the current state of rap music and the inspiration behind their latest album.
