This week on Behind The Lens, on Sunday night, a vote in the US Senate cleared the way for a plan that would end the longest U.S. government shutdown ever. With an agreement to open the government, we take a look back at what the past 6 weeks has meant to those who depended on federal assistance, where the state stepped in, and what it reveals about the Landry administration.
Louisiana schools are eagerly awaiting the state’s A-F letter grades, slated to be released this month. In New Orleans, those grades largely determine which charter schools will win new contracts and stay open next year. A low grade could mean closure.
Our guests this week are Louisiana Illuminator Editor Greg LaRose and Lens reporter Marta Jewson.
Theme music by Podington Bear. Additional music Blue Highway by Podington Bear soundofpicture.com.
