Show 22: School Choice

With all the great school choices available to families in the Anchorage area it can be a daunting task knowing which one is right for your children. We attempted to make the process of choosing a school a little easier by inviting three knowledgeable guest panelists to share information and answer questions.

GUEST PANELISTS: Speaking with KTD Host Shana Sheehy in front of a live audience are three guests.

• Linda Carlson from the Anchorage School District

• Missy DeRivera of Chugach Homeschool

• Sandee Hough of the Alaska Association of Independent Schools.

Her thoughts top the hour on this show. [Full story]
