earn a trace did dege and graduate so we have to figure out how they are going to get these kidur through school system and what that looked like in a school system was passion kids who didn't p deserve toss with large absences and failing tests and, you know, low scores, and so now what the prince george's county school system is saying that they are goingdo and have done is clean all of this up. theem state is calling t the st transparent school system and i spoke to a school board member who really championed and prout as the light what going on with the graduation rate scandal, and his perfect sieve we want our degrees to meaning something so if we have lost some points and we're not graduating 80% of our students anymore let's take a look at this and figure out how t make the numbers better. in a true way that starts from e-kindergarten and worts way up so a lot of conversations about the disparities and what' happenth some of our urban school districts. >> and one of the investigat ans
