The Show regularly checks in with the Editorial Board of the Arizona Republic to talk about current issues facing the state and the region — featured in columns on the newspaper’s op-ed pages.

In addition to facing teacher shortages and funding challenges, Arizona’s K-12 schools are also trying to figure out how to offer more transportation options. That includes getting students to and from campus, but also to and from before- and after-school activities.

Joanna Allhands of the Republic wrote about school transportation.

The Show spoke with her colleague Phil Boas to learn about her column.
