Dr. Meria Carstarphen, Superintendent of Atlanta Public Schools, speaks with Bill Nigut, Jim Galloway and Maureen Downey on GPB Radio's Political Rewind, January 12, 2018.

On this edition of Political Rewind, we talk with Dr. Meria Carstarphen, the Superintendent of Atlanta Public Schools.  We'll look at how she’s rebuilding a school system rocked by a scandal that made national headlines before her arrival and we'll ask her to weigh in on the impact that state education policies championed by Governor Deal and Trump administration proposals are having on public schools.  Plus, we'll access the impact of the vulgar remarks President Trump allegedly made about immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and some African countries.
