Two years ago, Muskegon Heights made history by becoming the first school district in Michigan to convert entirely to a charter district, and turn the operation of its schools over to a for-profit company.
This week, Michigan Radio's Dustin Dwyer and Lindsey Smith take an in depth look at the changes in the Muskegon Heights School district and what that could that mean for other troubled districts in the state in a new State of Opportunity documentary called Tiger Pride.
Why focus on Muskegon Heights? How does it impact other struggling school districts in Michigan?
Dwyer and Smith joined us today to give us a preview of the documentary.
Tune in tomorrow afternoon at 3 pm to hear Tiger Pride.
