Education Matters, the on-going discussion on WHRV with area educators, returns this Wednesday with Dr. Daniel Keever, Superintendent of the Williamsburg James City County Schools. Dr. Keever assumed the position in June after serving as interim head of the division after the retirement of Dr. Olwen Herron. What is Dr. Keever's vision for the schools and how is the unique jointly run system moving forward after it briefly talked of dissolving? What is the division doing to address absenteeism, teacher recruitment, and new History SOLS? Tune in for a candid and very open discussion with Dr. Daniel Keever on Education Matters, Wednesday at noon on 89.5 WHRV.
