Episode 2: Black History Month Special  

Changemakers: CCSA's President & CEO Myrna Castrejón interviews Dr. Helen V. Griffith, Executive Director of The Preuss School UC San Diego, about this school's unique partnership with UCSD and the need to grow more UC-charter public schools in California.

Charter Spotlight: We venture to AIMS High School in Oakland to understand how educators are advancing the academic achievement of its Black Students. We also attend a college expo at AIMS where recruiters from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) offer on-site acceptance letters and scholarships to AIMS seniors.

My View From Here (Audio Commentary): Jason Sample, Superintendent of Gateway Community Charters, explains why he believes Black History Month is something we should celebrate all year long.
