WNRN’s Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call

Rick Moore (host) talks with Jane Kulow (part of Albemarle County Public Schools parent council), Chelsea Henderson (part of Monticello High School student council), and Ryan Shell (social studies at Albemarle High School) about the Albemarle County Public Schools budget, and how it will effect the schools in Virginia, in general. Albemarle County will be having a 4 x 4 schedule next year due to budget cuts, and many are opposed to it because it might effect the quality of education. Also, other programs will be cut to save money.
