Welcome to episode seven of the Extra Credit podcast.

It was a busy week at the Statehouse, and hosts Kevin Richert and Clark Corbin are here to summarize all the biggest education news. This week, they cover all the bumps in the road that a literacy proposal hit, leading to the introduction of a rewritten bill.

They also discuss apparent concerns over Superintendent of Public Instruction Sherri Ybarra’s proposed rural schools center and reflect on the unexpected departure of Ybarra’s special assistant and legislative liaison Tim Corder.
