First hour: Candidates for Rochester City School Board, group two

Second hour: What is the future of Catholic education?

We continue our series of interviews with the candidates for Rochester City School Board. We’ll discuss the candidates’ priorities, and we’ll discuss hot issues in the election. In studio:

  • Cecilia Golden
  • Van White

What is the future of Catholic education? We’ve seen some schools shift and close, but the evolution of Catholic education shows some resilience. Nazareth Elementary, for example, is moving to the old Sacred Heart School. Interestingly, 70 percent of the students at Nazareth are not Catholic. Our guests will discuss modern challenges and how they’re adapting. In studio:

  • Sr. Margaret Mancuso, principal of Nazareth Elementary
  • Deborah Hanmer, parent of two children in Catholic elementary school
  • Mary Martell, principal of Holy Cross School
