This week, hosts Kevin Richert and Clark Corbin preview Gov. Butch Otter’s State of the State address and talk about the education issues that are likely to dominate the 2016 legislative session, which kicks off Monday.

They’ll also explain why Education Week gave the Gem State a D-plus in a new nationwide education report.
