This week on Behind The Lens, decisions are in about schools after state test results were released and some families and teachers are now scrambling after the district announced two high schools would close. One will close next week and the other in May.

And a dying and degraded swamp will have a shot at new life after the process to begin reconnecting it to the mighty Mississippi is now underway after the state’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) came to its rescue. 

Our guests this week are education reporter Marta Jewson and environmental reporter Delaney Dryfoos.
